Parents have an increased sense of a say in whom their kids should marry, the more they are required to support those kids after marriage. If your parents are buying a house for you, they have every right to FEEL that they should have a major say in what type of house, where it should be, etc. I am not saying they have the aboslute right to make all the decisions, but it is understandable that they will want their input strongly regarded. In genreal, any parent wants to have input in the choices a child makes for the future. But the downside of being dependent financially on them, is that they still treat their married children like they did when they were much younger. So if they pay the bills, they want their word to be the final one. I am not saying I agree with the concept, but I do understand how it can evolve that way.
