In what you described the issue is shared, imho. I mean, the parents are... doing what they probably have been doing during all teh childhood of their son, which is not their 'kid' anymore if he is that old: he is an adult. And, as an adult, I would say it's more than time for him to put limits. If parents/family can't respect those limits, it's up to him to help them, more or less gently, understand it's not for them to fix those boundaries.
I left my family, and their advice, and their morals, and their hypocrisy (things 'like when we were your age/we would never have done/and so on), the second I was able to. We all have a single life to live and I realized at a young age I did not wish for my parents to get a say in how I chose to live mine, they already did enough damage during my childhood.
