Uh-huh. Or a large family with children ranging in age over 20 years.
It's hard to get even two like-minded households.

I have a couple of like-minded friends, but two of us have full-time
jobs, and that makes coordination nearly impossible. The one without a
job is wonderful because she's always willing to help me with stuff
when I need it (I just feel bad that I can only reciprocate when I
have time.

It all worked a lot better here when I had a partner, even when he
couldn't do much but coordinate.
