I agree with you 100%. Even though my parents can be huge pains in the butt sometimes, they are only doing it because they want to make sure I'm okay. They want to see me happy and safe.
And honestly, I can't say anything bad about my parents. They have given me everything I needed (and pretty much wanted) for the past 24 years without any questions asked. And currently I live in their house free of charge. They pay for everything including my car, my food, my cell phone (we have a family plan, that's why), and a lot of other things. I only pay for my clothes, going out (including my upcoming trip to Disney), and my student loan. Basically I'm a spoiled brat, and I know it. And when I get out in the real world and have to pay for everything on my own, it's going to be a swift kick in the rear end. And I know that too.
Overall, my parents rock, and I don't take them for granted, even when they drive me nuts. But of course, that's what parents are supposed to do at this age.
