I do think people are extra sensitive at the moment and things are odd and difficult - but I'm surprised that on other poster has wondered or asked why you'd find it so hard to just ask your parents what their thinking is. In your situation, when the carp park idea was mooted and I was unhappy about it, I'd have just simply asked 'why?' 'Why can't i come to the house? Do you thik that's a bad idea?' Then you'd have been given an answer. Assuming you love your family and get on well then why the lack of any communication on this? You're having to speculate to yourself the whole time about what their thinking is and their reasoning - instead of just asking. It doesn't have to be an argument. It's just a simple wish to understand where they're coming from. Why not just say 'but X is visiting you all the time? Why can't I?' This doesn't have to be antagonistic. I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to just call and have a conversation about it so you'd know where they were coming from.
