Add this loser to the list
 

Kenneth Alan Krajewski
A Villager’s son with a history of criminal activity was arrested Sunday night in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart at Buffalo Ridge Plaza in The Villages. Kenneth Alan Krajewski, 45, who lives with his mother in the Village of Winifred, was spotted in a golf cart shortly before 9 p.m., according to an arrest […]

And the beat goes on. A 45 year old dead beat arrested for 4th time. just Add this looser to the list.another mama's boy I guess..

Not sure that would...
 

absolve him from being a lousy roll model. As to condemning a whole group??? How is he doing that?

Kids that live with their parents even if the kid is anywhere from 22 to 72 and above. Most of us here in the Villages you never hear about unless it is on TOTV like with me. I would probably be homeless without the safety net of my family. My 224 613 fight over the past 26 years has required considerable sacrifice on my family's part and has been extremely difficult at times.

True. There are many reasons why a grown man might continue to live with his parents, including being a caretaker for them

I have been doing a lot of that of late. :clap2:

4 arrests--he's a prince of a lad--in his mother's eyes

Not my kid

"...And the beat goes on...just Add this looser to the list.another mama's boy I guess.."

"He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Different times... same meaning.

As I've read the internet news, which is the only place you read about crime in TV, it appears that the vast majority of crime is committed by "younger" residents who have parents or are some relation to a Village owner. I know the law would never allow it, but it is a shame they can't be "thrown out"

And there is a very good reason...that the law doesn't allow it.

If the 'majority' (51%) were allowed to determine who could live here and who couldn't...it would be no different than a country ruled by a despot.

All of them? Really?

Wow.

Actually he would be a lousy ROLE model. He might be better off as a "roll" model though so he can be "rolled" out of town!

Sorry, couldn't resist! I love typos. :D

My observation is that 'kids living with their parents' in TV fall into one of three general categories.

The first (probably the best) is kids who move her to take care of Mom or Dad who is having physical, mental, or both problems. They sacrifice their personal lives to take care of Mom or Dad. That's what families do!

The second is kids who have hit a rough patch. It may be a job loss, divorce, death of a spouse, or something else. Mon and/or Dad step up to the plate and offer support. That's what families do! Once they are back on their feet, they are out of here and back to their own productive lives.

The last - the ones most often in the news and in jail - are the losers who couldn't cut it on their own in the real world. Now they are back in the empty nest, soaking off of Mon and/or Dad. I don't necessarily think Mom and/or Dad are innocent here - they are enablers for letting their 'loser' offspring soak off of them and dispute life in our retirement community.

Most of us would prefer to see this last group depart our fine community but, alas, that probably won't happen until they get some really serious jail time.

:BigApplause:

Very nicely put. The last category, where mom and dad are essentially running a halfway house for junior, is the bone of contention raised by the OP because junior's behavior likely negatively affects the lives of others residing in the area in various ways.
