In general, most couples stay with the woman's family until they have had a few children. Babies are nursed until they are about 2 years old. It's not unusual for both the mother and her daughter to be pregnant at the same time and living together with all their children. A typical family size is around 6 to 12 children, so there are many young children in the village. It's difficult to feed such large families, so the trend is changing.
Most villagers sleep on the floor with a mosquito net at night, a few sleep in hammocks.
Families all sleep in one room. The man and woman will usually wait for a rainstorm to come before they make love. The noise of the rain helps to give them some privacy for this time. The day's activities begin at sunrise, as it is the coolest part of the day. The traditional roles are still intact.
