I think people are aware that there are some folks who live with us here in The Villages who are very special and kind and good and caring and not troublemakers at all. |

My answer to your question is no. Adult children with parents can be a very beautiful thing. Just ask Mrs. Gracie.  |
Two wonderful posts that make the combination of kids and parents a great team.
Without knowing the number, I know there are many more young adults in this same situation, living under one roof with their parents.
I truly feel that they contribute to the betterment of the community.
Instead of all the nay sayers bitching and moaning, get out there and do something constructive.
Maybe some of these parents you complain about need some help or even just a soft shoulder once in a while!
