I would say I am very close to my mum and dad and would like to think I am the same with the rest of my immediate family. I speak to my mum almost every day, go round when I can (which is when they are fit enough for the twins to be there as they can be quite demanding at times and make quite a mess) but I am ALWAYS there whenever my family need me, be it just to pick something up from the shop, pick the kids up from school, babysit etc or just to listen if theres a problem. I will never move away from my mum and dad, they would have to move away from me and then there would still be a chance that i would follow them lol

I can agree with some of what you say , but will add the following ...when a couple get together , both parties have to make some breaks with their original family unit , many break-ups are caused by interfering in-laws from both sides , a guy who gets married is getting married to one person , not the mother-in-law or the sisters in-law, same with the girl , she is getting hooked up to one guy and not his mother, who knows how her little prince likes his eggs boiled and his shirts starched .
Humans are not much different than other animals and once they reach a certain age they have to spread their wings and leave the nest . Ask any parent what they want for their children and they will tell you they want the best .......if that means the kids picking up and moving to say Australia , and taking the grandkids with them then most parents I think would say ...ok ...go do it , we love you , we will miss you , but its your life, go live it .
