Was the extended family really an American trope? It seems to me the whole "Yer 18 now son, go out and start yer own life" has been an Americanism for a long time, with men setting out for the frontier alone. That seems to be the origin story for why Wyoming is known officially as the faggot cuck state, though they use the euphemism "The Equality State".
However, I have heard much of multi-generational households on the wagon trains in the days of the Old West.
You can blame the subversive nuclear family for that. Dating in the West was something you did with a used-up prostitute before 1890. By 1910, (((they))) normalized dating in the West. Multigenerational households collapsed as nuclear families became common. The female empowerment from being allowed to fuck before marriage gave way to women's suffrage, which in-turn gave way to the sexual revolution and massive third-world immigration. The nuclear family broke down into single-mother families. Only getting back to that original stability can fix the current landscape. Any in-between will be a guaranteed return to modern social conditions.

I'm a bit confused on this point here as didn't our forefather have to date a woman before knowing that they wanted to tie the knot? How did older men get a first/another wife?
I certainly agree that we need to get back to the "only prostitutes have premarital sex" social stigma.
