I'm my Papa's daughter and not gonna go leave him anywhere. I also have my dadi and daddu (granny and granpA), Uncles, Aunts, cousins, a family of 17 people living together. Isn't it great to have everyone celebrate the joys and sorrows together? I always wonder how boring life is in the west, in USA?
You say you don't like the interruption by your parents but you also say...
Which means you miss the joys of being together for longer times.
Once a week for the indefinite future is great. All day every day is too much.
It probably is more boring our way, but most Americans are too selfish and uncooperative to live together. You can't have four uncompromising adults living in one house, without a ton of stress.

We have a mukhiya (headman) in our house and everybody respects his decision and is kind of afraid to go against him. There's a system. My granny takes care of women.
Whenever there's some stress, it clears out on festivals, and we've many. There's some kind of hirerichy here. Younger men and women respect their elders way too much and in return the elders support and love them. That's how it works.
