I’ve previously lived in a condo assoc with stupid restrictions, but I realized when I moved in what they were and agreed to them. I happen to love having children around myself and don’t think much of those curmudgeonly old fools who think they should be kept out of sight, but even those miserable old bastards are entitled to expect that the agreements signed by everyone admitted into their community be enforced. Don’t like the restrictions - don’t move there to begin with. I know from experience I will never live in such a restricted community again. My condo used to require background checks on any guest staying with me for more than 2 weeks, I’m already well aware of how intrusive and finicky these types are.
“Don’t like the restrictions - don’t move there to begin with.” I understand that, but this couple could not have anticipated they would be raising their grand child. I’m sure as empty-nesters, they didn’t have a problem with the restrictions at the time. And they’re making a good faith effort to leave the restricted community. “I know from experience I will never live in such a restricted community again.” Exactly, but you didn’t anticipate what a nuisance those restrictions would be at the time, did you?
