Ever since my parents moved to The Villages, I am unable to get a hold of them. They are never home when I call, and their voice mail is constantly full. On the rare occasion that I do manage to get through, they have to get off the phone quickly either because they are having a party, or are on their way out to one. When they're not partying, they're either out on the town somewhere or cavorting with strangers at one of the ridiculous number of 400+ social clubs that exist there. It never ends. It's either a free concert, a book signing, wine tasting, golfing, car show, or some other sort of excursion.



They only ever have time to talk to our kids, and when we get on the phone it's always, "Hi sweetie, it's been a long day and we have dinner plans, we'll talk to you later."



I don't think this kind of lifestyle of partying and socializing is healthy for my parents. Retirement is supposed to be calm and without fan-fare. Why can't The Villages be more like those other retirement communities that we see on highway billboards, such as Downhill Acres, or Finite Estates?

Is "non resident" and "detbreakdown" one and the same person?

I don't know of any parent who would ignore their children and or grandchildren. IMHO
