I'm old enough to remember the older version of the children being whipped soundly and sent off to bed. In 18th century it was not unheard of for middle-class parents to foster out their children from a few month old until they were toddlers. Jane Austen and her siblings went through this and it did cause emotional distancing. If someone was looking after fostered children it may well be an older woman who was doing it to earn a living in her old age. Of course in the 19th century these same middleclass parents would have a nanny to bring up their children, which, again, caused emotional distancing.

Both my late parents, born in Britain in the 1930s, came from big families. My father was one of eight children and my mother was one of 10. Myself and my cousins all came from smaller families. One of the blessing of the TV.
