The families in the small cottages on the Manor, and in the miner shacks, all have one thing in common: they have lots of children, and live on small salaries.

Dinner in Callahan's Shack: Mrs Josephine Stark to the right.

 

It is a harsh life - the children look for work as soon as they turn teens, the boys then start working in the Mine or as farm workers on the Manor fields.

If there is room they stay with their parents, but if not they move to the Bachelor's Shack for the miners, or the Farm Workers Dorm. The teen girls stay at home, but often work in the better families in Windlebride as maids. Boys marry when they turn adults, girls can marry as teens, preferrably when there are less than 10 days left, when needed I turn them in to Independent Teens with the help of the Insimenator - in waiting for the new version of Inteen.

 

The farm workers and the miners know each other well and I expect to see several marriages within this group when the second generation gets ready to marry.

 

(My plan is to make the village self sufficient with maids, all employed with the help of the All-In-One-Painting. I wish for the possibility to hire nannies this way too.)
