Re: 18 people in a 2-bedroom apartment?!
I gotta jump in hea an say sumting dis isnt a problem dat jus wen come up. dis been around awhile it is just getting worse. when I was a kid my sister who is 10 yrs older then myself moved out and moved in with her BF and had a child. they lived for YEARS in 1 room (a bedroom)that was rented out by a little old lady that rented 3 other rooms out in the house. they all shared a bathroom there was NO kitchen except the hot plate that was in the bathroom. as the baby got bigger they tried to move into a regular apt but it was just too hard. so they ended up moving into our house. so we had 2 sep families living in one house my mother and stepfather and my sisters family. oh and 5 dogs. was it easy Hell no is it still this way? in some ways yes she (sis) is sharing a 1 bedroom with 2 other ppl and have a hardtime paying the rent. the only consolation right now is her daughter is in a group home doing rehab the bad thing the daughter is pregnant and will get out of rehab soon..... hmmm wonder where shes gonna live? oh wait I know with mom....
so I belive there are WAAAAYY more ppl living like this family just to pay rent. odds are the homes are clean the kids are taken care of because with this many ppl living there no need for daycare someone (or 2) can stay home clean house watch the kids and cook the meals. what do the apt look like probly lots of bunkbeds and a couple of tvs one in each room. hey if the plumbing worked sanitation isnt too much of an issue is it? is it right for ppl to live this way no but when it comes down to are you going to let your kids be homeless no you wont.
now there are going to be those that say oh maybe they were druggies or immigrants yea maybe ...but think beyond that what if was you... you loose your job you get 3 kids an your wife is only working part time cause daycare cost too much.... what you going do? live on the beach wen your mom says come you live hea we take care of you, you work help pay bills, your wife stay home be mom, help grandma clean house... wot you goin do take your family to the beach?
how many of you are living paycheck to paycheck? waiting to get paid to pay the electric bill or your car payment ? how many of you can go on cash savings (not credit cards) for 3 months while you find a job that pays as much as you were making? heck even one month? can you do it? because that is all that stands between you and being homeless like so many ppl right now just one bad bump in the road. thats all it takes!
