Retirement living seems empty and self absorbed to me. I want to be around for my kids and have my grandkids visit without cranky neighbors complaining about the noise (I might, but I don’t want strangers to!).
No little old men in doll houses telling my or my family who can come in and out! Life is to be lived with family, with people you have spent decades building relationships with, not strangers who got the apartment next door just because they are of similar age to you.
lots of kids walk away from their kids.
others have kids that died
