I have read allot of the posts concerning "Why adult children living in the Villages" As a father of 5 grown children I take pride in knowing my wife and I have raised our children to be responsible adults and contribute to society. We recently moved to TV and love it here. When we moved here we asked our 23 year old son to come with us. He is an EMT and was employed full time and planned on starting Paramedic school in the fall. We encouraged him to come stay with us and go to school here so that he could devote his time to studying and not having to work full time and worry about supporting himself while in school. Because of the higher cost of out of state tuition he is having to wait a year so he can afford the tuition. He is anxious to go to work serving the community and has applied with several of the EMT companies here. He is not a menace to society and always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone that needs it. Since being here he has offered medical assistance and comfort to several of the TV residence while they waited for the EMS to arrive. You see he does not discriminate based on a persons age. As parents we want to give our children every opportunity to be successful in life. And if that means living with us for a few years then so be it.
