Qui believed he was the chosen one, and was going to train him regardless of the Jedis rules.

So he was just going to let a little stray kid follow him around everywhere he went, and hope the Jedi council didn’t catch on? Where was he going to sleep? Where was he going to eat?
Maybe the truth of the matter is that there was no good reason for Anakin to hang around other than to wait for Quigon to die so Obi Wan could train him.
Thats my guess anyway.

They said "don't train" not "don't see".Qui Gon just found a way to take on 2 padawans even though the Jedi said no. Which is just the kind of maverick dude Qui Gon was.

Given the idea that Qui Gon was a 'rogue' Jedi, the Council probably knew he was going to try to find a loophole in the 'don't train' order, anyways.

So the Jedi council doesn’t want Anakin Skywalker to be trained as a Jedi. I can only assume they don’t want him to be trained at all. By anyone. But they don’t feel guilty telling Quigon ‘no’ because he already has a ‘Padawan learner’ and isn’t allowed to take on another one, and their word is basically useless if anyone else decides to train him - that’s a good rule to have by the way:
“I’d like to train senator Palpatine to be a jedI”
“He’s too old to be trained. And he’s a little on the evil side.”
“So. I’m allowed to pick whoever I want as my Padawan regardless of what you say.”
“Well, you got us there.”
So this should leave Quigon with one of two options: either ask one of your Jedi buddies without a current Padawan to adopt Anakin… or send him home.
If hes too old to train, and nobody else is going to step up and claim him, he cant just be allowed to roam the Jedi Temple, eat their food, be assigned living quarters, read their books, watch their training videos and play their play station. It doesn’t make any sense. There has to be some accountability for the people who live in the temple.
What if there’s a fire drill? There’s gotta be a list of names somewhere of people who allowed to roam around inside freely without question. There must be badges or something.
Can any old joe just come in and make him self at home? If so, how do they keep the temple secure? How do they keep the temple from being over run with vagrants?
And is the Jedi council really so stupid, that they don’t see what Quigon is doing? My little brother could see what they were doing for fucksakes.

jedi school is like the most exclusive private boarding school in the galaxy. parents pay alot of money to send their kids there, and whith good reason; your child leaves with a knighthood, earns skills he/she would learn no where else (save maybe Korriban Sith Academy; a highly compedative private school), and high counsel prestige.
A school strictly for the social elite...
so you can imagine Deputy Principal Yoda's reluctance to train a slave or farmboy from tatooine on a 'got force' scholarship. "the boy is too old" is counsel code for; "great, another freeloading leech sent to us by galactic welfare"

Buddhist belief: We generally believe that external conditions such as food, friends, cars, and money are the real causes of happiness, and as a result we devote nearly all our time and energy to acquiring these. Superficially it seems that these things can make us happy, but if we look more deeply we will see that they also bring us a lot of suffering and problems.
