That does not mean we don't have friends of all ages, but hoped to find our peer group here. Living with people who have finished their careers and raising their children and who have lived at least five decades is comfortable and nice for me.

Please don't yell at me. That is how I feel.
Agreed. Our children are grown & out and we are not in the mood to raise anybody else's kids. While we are not unfriendly people we stay away from anything marked "kid friendly" or "family friendly" like it was the plague. I'm 57, my wife is 50 and we like our peace & quiet and we like to communicate with people who are our own age and share our generation's experience. As Bill Cosby once said..Parents are not interested in justice..they only want quiet!!
