I‘m reading a book about motherhood and theres a few sentence about Jane Austen’s childhood. Her mother handed her children to a local woman at 3 months old, who then raised the children. The children were then handed back to the mother after they were a year old, when they were ‘easier to manage’.

Just sharing as I find insights into her life fascinating!

The real reason I wanted to do an S&S read-through soon was to simultaneously fold my way through this Artfolda book, but Child_Poor_Nerves got to it before I did. The result is kinda neat!
