"Somebody Tranq That Child!"

> Combine multiple families in one household.

> Adopt multigenerational living.

> Cut your commute. Sacrifice space to relocate around work, or sacrifice pay to work closer to home.

Most of these suggestions are detached from reality, I don't move away from my family because I feel some arbitrary social expectation, I do it because I want space and freedom. Maybe for the few that are both A) highly extroverted and social, and B) happen to have a good relationship with all of their family members/friends family, this could appear pleasant.

Another option is to simply not have kids, no one is forcing you (outside of possible familial pressure, all the more reason to keep a healthy distance...)

Only B is required. Why would you need to be extroverted to live with your family!?

If you do not have a good relationship with your family that is the real problem.

Why not cut your commute. Working from home has been so liberating.

Most people want to have kids. They are the most fulfilling thing in most people's lives. Its an option, but it means giving up a lot so is anything but "simply".
