Read the article. They love the location and the neighbors in their building. They have been trying to get a bigger unit in the same building but haven’t succeeded yet.

Oh OP. I haven’t read it yet, but my idea of bad parenting is taking a newborn home to a house where you put them alone in their own room 30 feet from their mother and you listen to them through an electronic device. Families that live in more intimate spaces have more intimacy, generally speaking. Look at the bond that siblings have when they share a room. I just separated my kids and I’m worried about it.

OP, I get what you say about educated and well-off parents not spending a lot of time with their young kids because they are so invested in their careers. that is not what I respect or want for my own family, either. You have a point here.
You do not have a point with the small house and room-sharing stuff. That does not have any correlation to good parenting.

As if everyone in big open suburban houses is a model parent. Parents are also people with different priorities and expectations. You OP please stop with the judgment!

Not having to do upkeep on a larger house gives you more time with your children

There's no way in hell I would give up a place that cheap. This is a blip in the long run. The kids seem healthy and happy and I bet the parents are able to save lots of money for their future.

I can't shake the feeling that these parents are just doing something fundamentally wrong. Three kids in a one-bedroom? I mean, I get that they are doing the best they can with what they've got, but it just screams "bad judgement" to me! A well-educated, older couple, sleeping on a pull-out in their own living room is a pretty strong indication that you've made some bad choices along the way. And yes, of course, NY has its own set of rules and "normals" but I walked away from this article feeling a distinct sense of pity for these people, and yes, especially the kids.

I get that its a slow news cycle, but seriously, do we have to write long-form articles commemorating the time a man actually took care of his kid? Does it really take a pandemic for parents to notice and connect with their children?

You are so clueless. The vast majority of the world lives as you described. Children share bedrooms, parents sleep in living rooms. Yet, they manage to raise perfectly happy, well-rounded children and adults.
American children are given way more than they ever really need (except those in poverty of course). Get a grip, OP.
