Back to the OP:

You need to set up some rules, like CTLAWYER did. It is not easy to speak to your parents like that. But if done respectfully and tactfully, they should understand and respect you point of view. Just don’t hold it inside too long or you might just blow up like I did above. Fortunately, I did it here and not at home.

Possibly set up times for them to come over, like a couple nights a week for various activities. That way you all can spend time together and there are no surprises.

People want to be wanted and needed. Perhaps that’s what they want. Maybe ask them for help with things or their opinion. Make them feel valued.
