The shoes are too small

Put yourself into the shoes of the Younger family. What do you think it would be like to live in a tiny, three-room apartment with three generations of your family, without the choice or resources to move elsewhere?

I believe that having to live in the cramped conditions described in the book would have many negative effects psychologically. Having so many people around would make it hard to relax and I imagine that any bad moods of one person in the house would easily put everyone else in a bad mood. Not having the ability to move somewhere else would give a sense of being trapped. The home would turn into a prison that you got to leave in the morning but must always return at night.
