Homes in America are pretty large.

I can't think of a place I've lived that can't support 6 extra people, 4 of them being kids.

It may not be comfortable but its probably less comfortable than not seeing your family because you can't afford a hotel.

Then you haven't lived in enough places. I can look up and down my entire street and tell you that maybe 1 house could a married couple + 6 extra people, 4 of them being kids.
