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 .

Do agree with you also on some things, my parents would back up any decision I made, be it to move away etc but thats never been what ive wanted. I wanted to stay near my family and must admit that if it wasnt for my mum and dad after I had the twins god only knows what state I would be in now. My mum was (and still is when needed) my rock and I know that I would have fallen apart after having the boys if it wasnt for her and my dad. Hence my want and need to be still close to them
