[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my family we follow primogeniture. The oldest male child gets the lot, apart from some cash and keepsakes. It works for our family.[/quote] Wow! Do you have a family heritage from a culture where this is the norm? Now that would piss me off, but as you said - it works for your family, and if everyone comes up knowing that's the deal, then I imagine it is fine. [/quote] Yes, I do. I am the younger son and rather broke the mould by not joining the clergy. But I always knew I would have to make my own way in life, so have never harboured any bitterness about it. And this way I know that the family lands will stay together, as a great estate. I have seen so many other families lose the tradition, split up their lands, and end up subsumed into hoi polloi. Sad.[/quote] HA!!! I do love me some Austen! Well done, PP. Well done. [/quote]
