this is nice to know as someone who is the adult child.

i used to argue a lot with my parents when i was still living with them, but ever since i moved out and we only see each other once every few months, our relationship has improved so much, and we're always happy to see each other in smaller doses

It's because we're no longer a burden.

Many parents would gasp at this sentence, but the same parents would likely complain to anyone who'd listen about how negatively their children are affecting their lives.

It's also the other way around - when the parent is no longer in charge of you, you can coexist as peers more easily.

So true..had my parents over for Christmas one year and they stayed for 4 days. 3 would have been perfect.

its a saying in Lithuanian: "Guests are like fish - starts rotting after 3 days". It might be a bit dark to some readers :)
