'My parents (retired) are going on their 10th+ vacation this year:' Entitled parents ask 31-year-old son to move home for a month to dog sit for free, despite it forcing a 2+ hour commute

Doing favors for your family is a nice thing to do. It's a nice way to have a meaningful back and forth with those whom you love the most. They would likely do the same for you when you're in need, so the least you can do is do something for them in return. It fosters closeness and is a gesture of goodwill. But there are, of course, limits on what should count as a favor and what counts as employment. Picking their kids up from school when they have an appointment? A nice gesture. Picking them up from school every day until the end of time? Not so much a favor as it is a job that someone would command a healthy salary to do. 

Cooking them dinner while they're sick? A beautiful way to be of service to a loved one. Cooking dinner for them every night because they don't feel like cooking? You might as well hire a private chef. The difference between kindness and taking advantage of someone can be a thin line, but one that needs to be respected.
