We used to have parties at our old house. Invite all our friends, family and everyone both DH and I worked with. We had a decent sized house, basement was finished on one half, plus a huge double lot nicely landscaped. We haven’t had anyone to this house except family, there just isn’t room. When we have family, it’s only 7 adults and 4 kids and it’s pretty tight. Kids enjoy eating in family room with tv. Adults eat in dining room. We could fit one more adult at the dining table, it seats 8. Lol.
I had friends in high school with 8 kids in the family. 4 bedrooms, mom and dad’s; girls’ bedroom and boys’bedroom. The last bedroom was tiny (possibly a nursery or storage at one time) and the oldest kid at home had dibs on that. Honestly though, none of the kids spent much time at home. I was friends with one of the sons and one of the daughters and never spent more than 20 minutes in their house at one time.
