If your parents asked you a huge favor to stay with them since you're the only daughter and they're getting old, will you do it thinking that your freedom and privacy will be very much affected. They are not open minded in many ways.

Do one or both of them need a caregiver? Are you the caregiver type? Are one or both of them near death? Then I woulds say maybe you should so that you will have this time together.
If they are just not wanting to let go of their baby, then I would be inclined to say probably not. You need to have a "normal" like assuming you have a job and are old enough to take care of your self.
As a parent with my last one about to move out - it is hard to face the long lonely evenings knowing she will not be (coming home from work soon). But it is time for her to start a new chapter in her life and me mine. Not that we couldnt see each other often - just that things will be different. It is a growing process and a healthy one. Be sensitive to their feelings... it is hard on a parent. But do what is necessary. Remind them you will call, write or whatever often and do it.

Yikes that's a tough one. Well they are your parents. Hve you discussed other options like a nursing home or housing for the elderly. Just check out these things first. Maybe you could hire someone to come to there house and help them, There are people for the elderly, Good Luck hunn and if they wouldn't go anywhere else I would take them in. They took you in when they didn't have to. But I understand what you mean about freedom and privacy. Good Luck with what ever choice you make. Try telling them how you feel.

Money wise you can save big, but privacy and social life goes down the drain!! Parents can still control you to the extent that you stay in their house. Move out just visit often that should suffice.

This is tough! I am wondering what nationality you are. I think you would have to reach some sort of middle ground with them. You have a life to live afterall.
My parents are the same way and I have a brother too! (European family heritage is the reason with me)
Good luck.

I would but with the understanding about my freedom and private life and how they are to respect it. Oh well, even if they didn't that wouldn't stop me from taking care of them and doing what I wanted.

i would never stay with them. live near, maybe, but what's the point in growing up if nothing changes? i don't want to grow up anyway, but since i have to, i'll make the best of it.
best bet is to live near enough that you can just pop over to see them every now and then, or they can ring you if there's a problem and you can go over and help.

If the parents are sincere and the need is real, you may consider living on your own, but VERY close by.

I would explain to them that I need to be out on my own,but would call often and visit often,I would remind them I'm just a phone call away..and that I love them dearly.
