[quote=Anonymous]I never even knew this was a thing.
My kids have friends across all socioeconomic backgrounds & have a few friends who's families are affiliated with NIH & are in this country exclusively for their work there. Sometimes we don't necessarily speak the same language, but we get by with the help from kids translating, lol.  However, the common denominator I've noticed with all of them when I've been invited to their apartments, is that they always take such pride in their homes!

My kids have friends who's families live 5 people in a 2 bedroom apt, but their homes always feel so warm, personable & inviting, where as they have other friends who's parents own huge homes & they sometimes can feel cold, impersonal & like I've stumbled into a Crate & Barrel showroom or a museum.

I dont think anyone should generalize/criticize someone else's living situation based on what type of home they live in, as you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.
If you're asking me if I'd rather live in a cramped 2BR apartment w/5 people & my family is happy, close & loving, or that I could live in a big home, but my family MAY not be as happy or content there for whatever unknown reason, I'm choosing the apt every day of the week.

A SFH doesn't emphatically mean that those who live there are happy, there's NO one size fits all living situation. [/quote]
