@leahshomestead: One of the questions we get all the time is, “How do you all get along living on a family compound?” Or, “I could never do that with my family.” The truth is, it’s not perfect. We have different personalities, different opinions, and different ways of doing things. But we’ve learned that it’s less about finding perfect people and more about creating systems that work for everyone. Clear expectations, communication, and each family having their own space have made a huge difference. For us, the benefits have been incredible. Our kids get to grow up surrounded by family, and when a project needs done, there are extra hands to help. Sharing equipment, helping each other, and carrying life’s responsibilities together has made the workload feel so much lighter. A family compound isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. But for our family, it’s been one of the biggest blessings. #FamilyCompound #HomesteadLife #LargeFamilyLiving

I would love to do this but in Australia you can usually only build 1-2 houses on a property no matter how big unless you subdivide it into separate properties which costs a lot.

I'm curious what state you live in and whether you had issues with permits for having so many houses on the property? This is my families goal one day!

I grew up in a family compound way before it was a thing. For a kid it is amazing, everyone around is loving and I could just walk over to my grandparents, great grandparents and my aunts place as well. It was wonderful. We had Sunday cookouts where everyone was there. Everyone has their own space which I’m sure helped a lot. 💜

I had this but I had to leave because my narcissistic parents started abusing my kids. I could take it when it was me, not them.

they're able to do it because they all still have their OWN houses. In the same house they'd probably drive each other crazy. space is important

This is the way family should be. So many cultures all over the world this is a normal way of life. My entire family back in Mexico is like this and we are shopping expanding land in East Texas now. Its rare anyone ever leaves the family property on their own.

Does America have housing laws? In Australia you would have to get permits (nearly impossible) to be able to build all the houses
