I tend to think that some people gives reasons as why they don't like it because some people don't like change and are very resistance to starting a new lifestyle.
Ive heard:
1. It's too hot in the summer.
2. Too many bugs.
3. Aligators are going to get you.
I can se some people wanting to stay near their children and grandchildren. I have also seen people say they see their children and grandchildren more since TV is close to Disney World.
To each their own.  |
Disney World is a huge draw, however, with limited school vacations , we would expect the grandchildren to fly down once or twice a year at the very most. Both of our sets of 5 grandchildren total do not live a driveable distance to The Villages......so would have to fly.
When they were babies, with no commitments, it was easier for their parents to bring them "home" much more often.........but we all know what happens once they start school, town activities, church activities and sports, plus all of their friends birthday parties and sleepovers..........they all become overscheduled.......and visits to the grandparents lessen.
But this is healthy and normal. Not all families still live in the same neighborhood or even the same town or state.
So, now it's time for us. We've weighed all of these considerations.
But...............the alligators are still worrisome...........(just kidding).
p.s.
Many folks are adventerous and have relocated to other parts of the country during their lifetimes. However, many others do find solace in the "familiar".........and if they were lucky enough to live in a nice community with very little stress for over 43 years, the only thing that will get them to MOVE is usually the weather (cold, damp, rainy, snowy, icy, etc.) which although tolerable when younger......just gets old after too many long winters................and what was once a great family home becomes way too humongous to care for. Often, less is more...........
