Yeah, it's a great point... families used to be a LOT bigger. They used to stick together. It's all been on purpose. Mostly societal conditioning to blame, since poverty can never be blamed for not cranking out slews of children. Hearing my 86 year old grandma tell about her childhood puts shit into perspective in a major way. She was the 10th and last child in her family. She recounted how her dad rode a horse in the winter time to go pick up the doctor and bring him to their house to stay for a few days while she was born etc. Then she told me about the house, that it was a cabin, no electricity with two rooms... one room was her parents' and the main room was the kitchen/living room and all her siblings lived in there. They all slept on feather beds that were basically like giant pillows on the floor.
When she was telling me this, I was just looking around at her apartment... so nice and filled with lovely figurines and pictures and antique things. How weird it must be to start out life that way and then see the world change the way it has. The change in vehicles. The invention of computers and things you don't even understand. The disheartening degradation of society and the people in general. Everyone so classless, no morals, a dwindling sense of patriotism when your family had fought and died or been maimed for the freedom of this country and its people who are just wasting away.
