how are the other two families affording these broods?
in know my grandfather grew up in such abject poverty he wanted no children and my gran, an old child whose parents died young and who was brought up in an orphanage, had to pester him for the two they had.
my other grandfather's family were very rich and they were farmed out to wet nurses, nannies and boarding schools, but i think that's the exception rather than the rule.
