Parents should raise their children with the ability to survive in this world on their own, so if you can live on your own and without your parents assistance then your mother did not fail.
Yeah that's the tough thing for them.
The Polish heritage and culture is one of close community and pride.
Toledo has a large Polish population, and while I only have 12.5% Polish blood, it's the freshest heritage, but also the recent addition (great grandma was 100% polish blood, both her parents were born in Poland, she may have been born in the U.S., not sure) is also the only Polish I have, so that is interesting to me.
They have a close-family tradition, so my recommendation is even after moving out, make your parents proud by maintaining a stable life, but also nearby enough that regular visits are easy and common.
They'll come over often, and you'll want to do the same.
I'm going to want to do that with my folks, and for me it's not even the Polish thing, it's just the notion of family for me. Problem is, we're all going off in different directions, and I do feel a little sad that my parents are basically without their kin now. Sister is in Texas, and I'm away for school a few hours from my hometown. Still go home for break, and depending on the employment situation between graduation this year and a 4 month training block for my signal branch training in the Army next summer, I might or might not live at home with them just for stability reasons. Moving out, moving back in (not leaving all my stuff and paying for an apartment for 4 months without use), and moving out again sounds like hell.
And for employment I probably will live in Columbus or Cinci versus Toledo, better employment options. Will have to visit on occasion for sure if that's the case.
