They won’t care if the community is gated or not.

I just think about how much further I might have gone if I had more support. We all know our own kids. If my kids were spoiled or ungrateful I wouldn’t be as generous.

Indeed I was. Mom and dad did not sponsor anything, not college, not a wedding…nada. I knew from an early age I was on my own and would have to create the life I wanted to live in. So I did and still do.

Is that the current system or the parents? The parents seem very unfriendly.

The way FCB’s buy homes, like how the money gets here, is that even legal? I have heard of some pretty shady deals, having to wait through very long escrows due to money coming from mysterious places…. Why is there no crack down on that?

Or you can just accept them as they are and not make them feel like they need fixing.
