Sheās very stupid if she does reroll again, especially soon after Rosieās birth. People, parents and such, are a lot more amenable to taking in the prodigal daughter with one poorly planned baby, and maybe holding still for a bit of free childcare and support whilst prodigal daughter gets her life straightened out some and helps to keep her in a job.
That whole scenario turns drastically more sour once you have a second, especially if you have them close together. You will struggle to find anyone who will take the fabled Irish twins off your hands for even an hour now and then. I was taking a double buggy to my antenatal appointments for number three because no one would have them for even an hour. And I was getting exactly the sort of looks you imagine from staff and fellow patients. No one has ever offered to take three of them, even on a emergency basis so I could be admitted to hospital.
In current year, a clutch of babies and toddlers, closely spaced, is quite the rod to make for your own back. Baby one is portable. You can stick baby one in your baby carrier and get your housework done. You only need a single stroller. When baby one is napping, you have your hands free to get stuff done, and itās quiet enough for you to stop and grab a cup of tea, a shower, something to eat maybe. When they start arriving in a crowd, the naps never coincide and one of them will always, always need a clean bum or something to eat. One sick baby is a house is bad enough, but when they all come down with something at once itās hellish. Trying to supervise a clutch on your own is maddening, especially in public. The amount of stuff you have to drag around when they are little - clothes, bottles, nappies, wipes, all that essential shit - will have you dragging around something like a weekend bag, instead of a cute little changing backpack. Managing a double buggy on public transport or even in most public spaces is damned near impossible. The double buggy-plus-baby carrier arrangement is fucking backbreaking, and good luck fitting multiple kids in a shopping trolley to get your grocery shopping done.
If this is Meighās plan, she better get very fucking self sufficient very quick, especially with the useless Hutt in her house. The cavalry might still come for her and Rosie, but it wonāt come for three or four of them. And thereās a point where adding babies makes the daily caretaking drastically more difficult. A mother only has one pair of hands, after all.
