A simple or extended household usually became vertical as soon as at least one son married.
The focus is now on her desires and goals and not on accommodating to her son in any way.
These rights are usually inherited by the eldest son in the family.
The eldest son tried to bear the brunt of these burdens, but it was not long before he had to leave.
It would be eleven in the morning, her son would be at school, and the servants would be out shopping.
Once performed, an adoption was irrevocable and the adoptive son enjoyed all the rights of natural sons.
They loudly poured out their worries, calling on their male relatives to discipline their sons.
Permutations of the ranks (whether of sons, grandsons or the pools of sons plus grandsons) were performed within sires.
