>I'm not supposed to name how many children we currently have or their ages, I'm not supposed to talk about our income, I'm not supposed to reveal our route, and I'm not supposed to tell outsiders about certain traditions and the like.

Sorry to butt in, but this is fascinating. I see some of this mirrored in the more traditional, old fashioned people in my area. For us, it has something to do with superstitions and class?

I can't even explain it. Some of it has to do with being punished for drawing too much attention to yourself or your family and having misfortune brought down on you, and some of it has to do with just rules like it ain't classy to talk about how much you're getting per hundredweight for your milk.

But thank you for sharing and explaining to us some of your Rules, they're incredible.

It's privacy. I can't explain it either. Some outsiders think it's a luck thing, or something, but it's really just...I don't know. It's our family, and they have to be kept safe. The way to keep everyone safe is by hiding them from the rest of the world, sheltering them.

Which is why when my mother sicced CPS on us, she was cut off from the family. She disrupted the family, she lied, but more than that, she broke the capital r Rules. I never really forgave her for it, in the end. I spent two weeks in the system, only a few months after my father had passed, all alone (They separated us all for some reason), and I was too young to understand what was going on.

Even then, it's just...it's how we are. We keep ourselves to ourselves. Strangers aren't even supposed to be in our camp. (Except that one time this guy was sleeping in a tree and fell out in the middle of dinner) (I don't know who was more shocked, him or us)

Wow. I'll tell you one thing I wish you could tell CPS and people like them -- that if they do intervene, they need to keep the kids in at the very least pairs. Because being all alone among a bunch of strangers is way too traumatic for a child who is used to being part of a tight group.

(I really ought to start reading your upthread comments before I answer you, huh?)
