[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? A family that size in a two-bedroom might look almost charming and resourceful with a bunch of kids under 10. When those kids are teens and tweens, it will look like child abuse.[/quote] Not sure who big their place is, but plenty of large families lived in what was considered a good, up and coming neighborhood in the 1940s to 1980s. Their mostly post WWII homes were 900 sq ft. In the ‘40s kids not only shared rooms but also beds. I knew families with 4 to 12 kids in these homes, many were also multigenerational like mine. Kids went to Harvard and other ivies and every level up to that. The well off were a mix of blue and white collar workers. Families don’t have 1000 sq ft / household member is completely unnecessary. Look at household density in other countries.[/quote]
