My mom grew up with 3 families in one house. She had 3 brothers and a sister too. It’s entirely doable for people who don’t really have a choice. Also, after a family forms, people build right next to their parents. It doesn’t mean “30 people living in a house”, it could just mean “grandma and grandpa had a bunch of children and are now grandparents”.

I was always a little curious about the practicality of many children - assuming you get past the part about always being pregnant.
How is there even a house? I grew up sharing a room. My Mom grew up more barracks style to share a former among six of them. This is an entirely different level.
How do you get them places? My brother knows someone with six and they’re talking about needing a commercial van/bus
I grew up with hand me downs so I can see clothes a bit easier. And home made meals with frequent pasta / you can scale up basic cooking, but it will always be pretty basic. Even McDonalds would be a fortune. How can you take your kids for ice cream? Heck, how do you make pancakes?

I think it’s grandparents indeed. I also like how they’ve included 2 dogs (I think, the picture is a bit grainy).

By letting them. If they are old enough to want to get somewhere, they are sure old enough to use public transport.

What public transport?

Transport full of COMMUNISM
