That is far too small of a place for so many for so long.

That was probably the adults from being crammed into a house that size.

It was a $15,000 a week brand new house directly on Pensacola shoreline with private beach 150 ft across near the main stretch. 5,000 sq ft would've been $25,000 a week with same private beach/house.

Yea capitalism which was created by democracy, created by the age of enlightenment, created by global literacy, created by the reformation…. These created all the good and bad things of modernity. Go listen to some Joseph henrich interviews. But we traded family and interdependence for individualism and consumerism. We used to describe ourselves as the son of_____ tribe of_____ and feel shame for dishonoring family, now we describe our characteristics such as easygoing, quirky… and feel guilt for not keeping up with hustle culture.

I just got back from the beach for an 8 day trip in a 3,000 sq ft house with 10 adults and 8 kids between ages 0 to 5. If that trip made a lasting memory, it's that having 8 toddlers for 8 days is hell.
That's more a reflection on the parents than the kids, don't you think? They apparently weren't your job, but the other adults absconded their responsibilities to dump them on any adult around. I had a little SoB try to challenge me, and I shut him down in a snarky way, and he STFU. The rest of the class got to do the experiments without "I'm smarter than you" kid.
When assisting with off-site school labs for late elementary teachers, I knew within about five seconds of them coming in, which teachers suffered from some weird level of anxiety. This lets the kids generally run wild. Meanwhile, same grade, same school, rolls through my lab, and understands I'm in control, and they relax, and cooperate.

Yeah, because it's convenient for mommy and daddy to sleep in and let others deal with it. Go to your parents room and ask them. I don't know, ask when your parents are making breakfast. Quiet down or go downstairs.
Hint: blame anxious moms for instilling this behavior into their kids. Then you can blame the parents, and not the kids.

You had 18 humans in a 3/4 bedroom house. Even if it was all adults it would have been miserable. If you expected that to be relaxing you probably shouldn’t have kids.

I’m a happily married 60 year old with 5 kids. We have close friends that are a 36 year old couple that are committed DINKs. I know I shouldn’t, but I do push them toward having kids upon occasion. They know where I stand, and love them dearly.
I hate that they have chosen to not have kids. There are so many having kids that aren’t good parents, that it’s discouraging seeing couples that I feel would be good parents and aren’t pursuing it.
I respect their decision but think they are missing out, but I’m not hung up on it. I just think it’s a symptom of our fricked up society.
I’ve got younger kids (21 year old twins) that are very close to them too, and I feel like they will be a big part in their lives too so they will probably be instrumental in theirs and other kids lives. Even though they aren’t having kids, I feel they will be influential to kids anyway.

First off...that's not always the case and men need to be ok admitting that. I love my son more than words can describe now, but to say it was instant would be a lie. Instincts to protect and care for him and my wife kicked in in the hospital, by the time we were home I was drawing and doubting everything... as he got older and reciprocated affection and attention I bonded and a lot of men I know had a smiling arc.... which again...needs to be seen as fine.
Beyond that though man, get resdy and congrats...you are about to embark on the most amazing thing you'll ever do with your life

I have two boys, 10 & 13. The last 14 years have been the best of my life. Hardest but the best.

You probably aren’t on here enough to know we lost our only son in 2019. It was the most devastating thing imaginable and my wife and I thought we would never have that joy in our life again. Dying old and alone was one of the many terrible things that went through our minds during those times.

Reads like a support group for people who need validation for their worthlessness.

Independence and freedom aren't bad things.
But we've made an idol out of them.
Anything you idolize will destroy your life.
And capitalism didn't do that. Materialism didn't even do it.
The human heart and will did it.

Not everyone should procreate.

Bro you could have had 0 children there and it would have sucked. 10 adults in a 3k sqft house? frick that.
I learned long ago that the max amount of people you want to stay with in the same house is like 2 other couples. 5 couples and their 8 kids under one roof? Retarded.

K.
That explains why you're so bitter toward people who don't need what you need.
