How do any of these characters get ANY sleep?

Or basically live at all??? It is almost staggering to me the scheduling that these people have. Bill has a store to run. He has a family to deal with. He has a family of his *own* to deal with. He has two *other* families of his own to deal with. Then he starts dating. Then he starts a casino. Then he RUNS FOR SENATE. Then he becomes senator and is dealing with the hatred of THOUSANDS. That's incredible! If I had even *two* of those things going on at once I would be stressed. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's always been a really noteworthy aspect of the show for me. The fact that these characters are able to deal with everything is just so crazy.

And very unrealistic. I was actually coming on here to start a similar forum. People are always constantly arguing about every little thing, while on the other hand trying to balance out how not to appear as being greedy and selfish. All that running back and fourth to the compound was making my head spin. Then it seemed like as soon as one door was closing on a crazy situation, another one flies right open. To me it felt like they were trying to make to many people the main character. I actually starting laughing when they tried to include the children, because outside of showing that they were the product of a sexual life style they had little to do with anything. I swear that by season 5 they had so much happening at once that they didn't even bother with great editing, scenes were just bunched one other another; which made it clumsy.
