that's very true. And from what I'm seeing I'm getting the impression they are looking for childcare helpers. If the SGs all move out and clump together, poof, their childcare pool vanishes. There are many young families now with the beginnings of mega offspring. They have 2, 3, 4 or more children and they need helpers. Of course, they have trimmed off the members living on the fringes that were so brave as to practice birth control so they are left with the die hard SGs that are now cranking out the kiddies.

They can't get help from the parents because they still are having kids or the youngest is already 3 or 4 and they are strapped for help. I'm thinking of a family that has 10 kids and they finally let the oldest who is around 21 leave (gasp) and move in with his sister who has 4 children. This is a good way of keeping them tied to the vision of supporting the homes and not going off on their own. They will kill two birds with one stone, create childcare helpers and keep the young people from floating off.
