Children Living with Parents
 

Does anyone know if there is a club in The Villages for children living with there parents. I thought I saw one some time ago but cannot find it now.

Doubt it
 

Don't know for sure but I doubt as there aren't supposed to be children under 19 living here more then 30 days.

I know some retirees who have their adult children living with them but am not aware of any club for them.

Never heard of a club for them but certainly not a bad idea. Seems like the 30-40 YOs hang out at RJ Gators. Not sure about those younger or older.

That would be nice to have a club for us who live with our parents. Would it be like a suppoet group? Or a club for all to meet & greet? Or to go & do things together?? It is not hard to start one up. I started one up a few yrs ago for our street!

My son, who is in his mid 30's has moved down here. He is looking to meet some people his age but its been difficult. I think a club to do all of the above would be great.

Isn't this a retirement community???

Hey, I'll be the first one to make sure the "under 19" rule is enforced. But, the rules state persons over 19 can be permanent residents and they are afforded all the perks that any resident enjoys. Between the economy, taking care of elderly parents, etc there are probably several hundred 20-40 year olds living here (among the 80,000 55+). I could see where they might want to start a club and have social events. Kind of the antithesis of the 4 score and more (80+) club. They could be the 2 and 4 Score club.

Well said,Its nice to see younger people around

I do not see a downside to the community from having adult children living in the community and having activities designed to meet their needs. A plus could be the available of local help that the older generation may require.

Glad to hear...sometimes I wonder living here. Moved here to look after my mother. Not a youngin by any means but closer to the 4 0 than the 5 5 set :)
I've had a lot of shocked reactions when I tell people my age though, guess i look a good 10 years younger (not complaining on that point mind you) but I do get looks when i go to activities etc.

Look at the Police Blotter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our son will be coming down this year to help with things. He is the baby at 30 and I have to say I am so proud he is spending his vacation to help out instead of going elsewhere.

Some people have handicapped adult children living here (my cousin for instance). Most of the young people I run into around here are very polite. Coming from the northeast, it was a pleasant surprise.

A good deal of those names are renters, not adult children.

NO restriction on who people rent to!!!!!!

Not always the best choices made when it come in income $$$.

Renters have the same restrictions TPop.

A child under the age of 19 can not stay for more than 30 days per year.

What I mean is that people can rent to ANY adults (over 19?)

It happens. Just check the FL Sex offendor web site.

It occured in one of the villas in our neightborhood!

I would think the renter (ie homeowner) is still under the villages age guidelines and could be taken to task, maybe not the renter. Would have to look at the by laws. Already found out a few things I don't like (and mother) doesn't like about the villages. One of which is housing construction starting at 1 hour before dawn??? I mean its a retirement community right? The developement board that came up with that should be shot. Start at a decent hour 7am or later....new comers in new areas beware. And if you buy on the main road you have construction traffic all day long. Glad we at least don't have that.

anlashokna, don't hit the panic button on the construction noise - it's only temporary. As quickly as the houses get built, they'll be done with your neighborhood in no time!

That too will pass. Thats one of the things we all experienced and guess what we survived.
Do you have an opinion on dog poop?

Skip the dog poop. Let's go straight to roundabouts! :thumbup:
