In my experience, while there are things that parents do that drive me nuts (like live-in's mom trying to give us a crib or hinting not so subtly that she wants grandkids NOW), but as far as being a deal-breaker, only if his family is full of serial killers and rapists.
The guys I pick, I pick for them. If they don't display the same nutty qualities that their families display, it's pretty much all gravy. If they do behave very similar to their parents (for instance, it would be a deal breaker if live-in had accepted the crib then pressured me to have a baby) I might question why I got into the relationship in the first place. Parents might drive me bonkers, but as long as they're not going to harm me physically I can avoid the touchy subjects.
I've noticed that some of the guys I've dated have had AWESOME families but have been complete jerks. I have been sadder over a breakup because of his family instead of him before.
