Thank you for some positive insight. We live in a small 3 bedroom home, with our 5 children, and our neighbors have not-so-nice opinions about it. This has made the guilt I feel only heavier, for not being able to offer a bigger home for our children by now. We've been here for 15 years, we love the large property and we're a close knit family, but sometimes it's nice to be reassured that a big house isn't everything.

So nice to see a family where the kids are enjoying outside and not iPads or cellphones. God bless this family!

I was raised this way, only more kids. Some children do OK in a crowd, others are tramatized for life. To this day I can't bear to be crowded. My parents, too, were great at logistics and Bible reading. They learned the hard way good organization is not a substitute for attentiveness to each child's emotional needs and individuality.

Good morning! My best friends in school were all from large families. One had 10 siblings and the other had 6. One friend lived with grandparents just a little walk away from our home. All the aunts, uncles, and cousins were in and out of that place. Houses weren't huge, but they were my favorite homes to visit. Always something to do, always so much love, and always good food!! 🥰

Until the past 60 years that was the norm. Our family lives in a modest house I bought at 20. What’s strange are these empty houses that are just enormous and so many struggling baby boomers becoming the elderly in them, but without family to care for them or keep them out of a bad nursing home. They are saying the generation that claimed free love over marriage and claimed independence by career over kids feminism are now the lonely generation desperate for any help they can get.

And I’m not trying to be insensitive. Far from it. I am heartbroken. I keep meeting women at stores in different places and they are telling me how terrified they are after having say divorce their husband, never had kids, never adopted kids, focused on A career they thought cared but didn’t really, and now even friends are dying and even if they cares for elderly they now see their is no one to care for them. I know this is a downer, but it’s also a fact that boomers are twice as likely to not zero kids verses those who passed on 10 years ago who all had several kids helping take care of them. It’s literally one in five over the age of 55 and under the age of 65 that don’t have kids. The US would be in dangerous population decline if it wasn’t for one in seven people being an immigrant more likely to have family.

My cousins used nice ones with a napkin ring for each n washed it @3-4 days. They used rags for paper towels too and washed them. Someone was always washing a load lol 3 loads a day

Build loft floors in your two spare rooms so 2 bedrooms becomes 4 bedrooms. You can put a long low dresser, 2 twin mattress and a tv on the wall on each "floor" and then 4 people can comfortably sleep in a room with 2 TV's in the room. So 2 rooms = 4 rooms = 8 twin mattresses = 4 dressers = 4 TVs = 8 kids in 2 rooms. You can make it like they each have their own fort with some curtains and string lights.

Your house is so cute and warm! It's not how big your home is but how loved it is! Some people have huge homes and they have show rooms that are not used which is crazy! A home should have favorite spots for everyone, pets included. Our pets have their favorite spots where their beds are and other spots in the kitchen or sitting in the sun room, living room and bedrooms. A good home is where everyone is comfortable, safe and loved.

This was a blessing to me. Thank you for the video

My dream is to have a smaller home to maintain. So much time goes into cleaning when I can be making wholesome food, feeding my soul, or spending time outdoors with the kids. I think your pavilion is genius! The bunk beds are cute. And the loft is so homey. You've definitely put your feminine touch into it.

The Good Lord Above has certainly blessed you and yours! I was a single dad of 5 kids, then 6, and worked full time in the electric utility business, so I know all too well your usual day: busy, busy, busy....but, as they say, busy hands are happy hands.

I love your home! So functional. I’m hoping and praying to build a small home for our family in the near future.

I grew up, second eldest of 12 children. We first lived in a two bedroom house with a partially finished "under the eaves, half story upstairs, that was one huge dorm room, that my Dad divided into to bedrooms. He also built a bedroom in the basement for the boys. It was small, but we got along... many happy memories there. When I was 17, my parents sold that home, and bought a split entry home, with two bedrooms upstairs, along with the kitchen and living/dining area. Downstairs were three bedrooms and a 3/4, very spartan, bathroom. The 4 th corner was a laundry room with sauna and shower at one end.

But one thing about both these families - even now as senior citizens - the kids have all stayed very very close throughout their lives. Siblings are a #1 priority to them.
