LIVING QUARTERS OF ABOUT JUST 700 SQ.FT. WITH ADULTS, CHILDREN, DOGS, CATS ETC. CAN LEAD TO THE 'GOLD FISH BOWL EFFECT'.
Interview with Mt. Sinai Doctor of Psychology Dr. Kimisses
Does any of these describe your typical day at the space you live in with a minimum of 4-5 adults and one or two children with one or two dogs, and or a cat to.
Sometimes everyone is speaking at the same time.
Going in and outside your space all day long
Usually more than one adult on the cell phone
Music, or television on all the time
Arguing who will walk the dog or dogs
Money is 50% of the time the subject
May sound strange but maybe not one adult drives and owns a car
May sound strange but 50% or two of the four adults or five adults are not working.
May sound strange but there might be only one person out of all the adults who work.
May sound strange but only one person does the food shopping
May sound strange but only one adult shovels the snow 90% of the time
May sound strange but only one adult may cut the grass if any
May sound strange but only one adult may have medical insurance
So the bottom line questions needed to be answered are:
1) who pays the rent or mortgage, CELL PHONES OR TAXES IF YOU OWN A HOUSE
2) who pays for the food
3)who pays the insurance and taxes
4) who pays the electric, heat, and cooking gas
5) who pays for ups shipments, clothes, gifts, shoes, sneakers, etc..
FINDINGS: This may not sound like it is normal or does exist, but you would be surprised how many families live this type of life. Far from Reality, out of touch with the norm and all heading for a collision in the near future.
If this exists who is a fault? Or are all at fault for continuing to live this way day after day, year after year, decade after decade.
The root of all of this is either the parents or a single parent. But if a single parent and the other father or mother keeps in touch, why do they not get involved in changing their loved ones destiny before it is too late.
