I posted this mostly because it reminds me of my very-cat-allergic brother who (a) when my mother adopted a stray kitten, complained because he had planned to move home after finishing college (he was 27) and (b) complained when I got a cat that he guessed no one wanted him to visit (he had never visited me anywhere even once in the 10 years since I had left home).
We live in a culture where many, probably most, people eventually leave their parents' homes and created their own homes, often in distant places. This can create a lot of problems. There are ways to address those problems, but asking one party to structure their lives in essential ways around the other is not one of them.
