I agree with Jeff here BBJ. Your parents still see you as a child even though they know, realistically, you aren't and are quite capable. They want to feel useful to you. They want to protect you. They love you.
Next time they offer to help you get the car out of the snowy driveway and it irritates you, smile and politely say, "I have it covered but feel free to come outside and freeze watching me maneuver out of the driveway."
It is done out of love BBJ, not because they think you incapable.
