I wouldn't have problems living with mine again. I mean I'd have to listen to things like "look both ways before you cross the street" but that's not enough of a bother to be all hells no!

I lived with my parents till I was 30 (when I got my first place) and it was tolerable b/c both of them were working and I worked evening shifts so I often only saw them in passing.
Today, 49 year old me knows that I'm likely to take them in some day but I've specifically bought a house where they have their own suite so I don't have to see them every day b/c if I did I would murder them in their sleep within weeks.
I don't care to hear their crazy political views which have been misinformed by Facebook and their crazy hard right relatives, I don't care to hear their opinions on how I raise my kid or run my household, I don't care to share my day to day activities (and I especially don't want to deal with their nosiness), I don't care to hear their insensitive remarks (my niece and nephew don't like spending time with my parents) and I don't care to hear their opinions on how I spend my money.
My wife wants to take her parents on a vacation soon b/c they're getting old and I've told her she's welcome to go with them but the most days I'll spend with them is 4-5. They're easier to deal with but they also drive me up the wall.
