My husband's daughter just visited for the first time. She didn't think she would like it and was "blown away" by all there was to do and the friendliness of everyone. She said she might even consider moving here when she's in her 70's.
It's clear from this thread that many of us have experienced unhappy attitudes from our children/families. If they would only come for a visit, they would see why we made this decision. It truly is a wonderful place to live!
I was planning to move here even if no one in my family ever spoke to me again! I knew in my heart that this was the best place for me to live in my "golden years!" And to further justify my decision, I met a wonderful man in church the very first Sunday I was here! We are truly happy together and never would have met if we didn't take the chance and move to The Villages!
A friend once told me, when our kids are grown, all we really have is each other! Don't depend on the kids, they are too busy with their own lives.
