A family has been capturing the attention of TikTok users, as many are astonished that two parents and their four children, plus another on the way, manage to reside in a one-bedroom apartment.
In recent years, TikTok has evolved into a platform showcasing a diverse array of content. Initially popular for dance videos and lip-sync performances, it now embraces virtually every niche imaginable.
Among the trending categories is a focus on everyday life. Quick “Get Ready with Me” clips frequently gain traction, alongside tours of homes and the restocking of refrigerators. While the majority of viewers respond positively to such content, some videos evoke feelings of anger and frustration.
This is particularly evident with the Resilient Jenkins family, who have been sharing their experiences living in a cramped one-bedroom space with six members in total.
The family’s TikTok account boasts 84,000 followers, and their videos consistently rack up around 2 million views. One video, depicting their children sleeping in the living room, has even gone viral with a staggering 10 million views, shocking many viewers in the process.

Some viewers have shared that they can relate to the Jenkins family’s situation from their own childhood experiences. One commenter noted, “As a child of 6 siblings who all had to share an unfinished basement as a bedroom, we have lived in similar conditions. None of us maintain contact with our parents anymore.”
Another added their own perspective: “As part of a family of four that lived in the dining room, I can assure you they will harbor resentment.” Questions about why the children sleep in the living room instead of the parents also arose.

Furthermore, many viewers have suggested ways to optimize their living space. “Have you considered bunk beds? That way all the kids could fit in one room!” one viewer suggested, while another remarked, “Let the kids have the bedroom!”
As the family prepares for an additional child, several viewers express concern regarding how they will accommodate the new arrival.
