So, the kid has lived there for at least 5 and a half years, but NOW it’s a problem? And your response is “Rules are rules?” The indignation isn’t faux, it’s directed at people like you who are unable to see the fact that the problem here is with the old farts who look for somebody breaking a RULE so that they can get their jollies by getting them in trouble; people who aren’t happy unless they are being a pain in someone’s ass. HOA boards are filled petty, power-hungry people who enjoy sticking their nose into everyone else’s crap trying to find a violation. Sounds like something right up your alley.
You stay classy, ya hear?
If you actually read the information instead of staying on your indignant high horse you’d learn the community had alerted the grandparents 2 years ago and you’d learn the family had been giving plenty of extensions.
Even now the HOA is trying to work with the family but in the end the rules mean something and were accepted by everyone living there.
Also there is no evidence the HOA stopped any sale of the home
Serious Question to you
If you allow this couple to break the rules which other rules would it then be ok to break?
Would it be ok for every family there to bring in a child?
When do rules mean anything to you?
