It's so sad how you're passing judgement on this family. If they're kind and well-educated, what's the problem? There are plenty of entitled boors living in large houses...

And please remember that many people in WEALTHY nations share rooms in small apartments, be it in Europe or Japan or Korea.

8 in a 1 bedroom is not un-common in other RICH countries. It's at one extreme of the norm, certainly, but not eyebrow-raising like here. My friend lived like this as a child, with her 6 brothers and sisters. She is a well-adjusted adult working at the World Bank. My SIL put her 4 kids two to a room when her house had several guest bedrooms, because many people believe there are benefits to having kids share. We lived for years all 4 of us in a ONE bedroom apartment in the US.

A little tolerance on a Sunday morning would be nice.

I grew up in the USSR and even in the time of shortage of everything, no one lived THAT many to a bedroom.  So no, 8 people in one bedroom is NOT common in RICH countries.
