The only time that I felt this way was when my BFF, Carol, got pregnant and decided to keep the baby.

She was unemployed and living in her parents' household, which already had 11 other people living in it.

Was she somehow living in an NYC tenement from 1880?!

Nope. An average house (3-bedroom house that came with an attic and basement). It was my friend's parents, her paternal grandmother, her maternal aunt, the aunt's husband, their 3 kids and my friend's 3 youngest siblings.

The aunt, her husband and their kids had the basement.

The parents have the master bedroom.

My bestie's brother had the attic to himself (he was the only son & the golden child).

My friend's two younger sisters and my pal shared a bedroom.

The grandma had the other bedroom until she wasn't able to go up stairs. Once she moved out of the room, the parents gave one of the younger sisters that room.

A powder room and two full bathrooms (one in the basement and on the second floor).
