"I wonder if I’ve been spoilt by them"?
Well, in my opinion. Yes. Yes, you have been spoilt by them.

You made mistake after mistake and they clear up the mess.

You'll never learn to stand on your own two feet because you know that they'll always be there to bail you out; so with that 'cushion' you can carry on selfishly through life.

You can't choose your family, and your parents sound great. In fact, it sounds as if they deserve somebody better. But still, They're not doing you any long-term favours by constantly taking away the chance to allow you to grow as a person, and letting you suffer the consequences of your own actions.

One day they're not going to be there, and then you'll be fucked.

Next time they offer to help, don't accept it, say instead that you're going to sort out your problems on your own.

That will be the best way to thank them.

I never do this....
but f**ck off!! I think his parents know him better than anyone and we ALL have our nuances, no one is perfect.

If you bother to find out about the real person you would see he had a house, he has done grown up things and I don't think his parents need YOU standing up for THEM.

I may have got this all out of proportion but this is just what I felt after reading your comment...
