If you have brought up your parents properly, you
should have no trouble with sleeping arrangements,
either in your home or in your parents.  Parents
should be taught early on that, although their
children love them very much, they (the parents)
cannot control their children's lives for ever,
and need to learn to respect values which may be
different from their own.  I think that to give in to
your parents on the issue of whether you sleep with
your SO at home (assuming you live with your SO),
is to insult your SO ("I love you very much, but
mommy knows best").  The way I would handle it is to
tell your parents that you assume you will be able to
share a room at their house, but if they feel
uncomfortable having you "live in sin" under their
roof, you will be glad to stay at a local motel
during your visit.
