I'm honestly most worried about the kids. They have absolutely no relation to FL or ML and have been living in such poverty. 100% they're gonna feel out of place and there's really only 2 ways this'll go;
1) will be treated well by FL and them but everyone else will secretly talk and snub them. They'll try to work hard and fit in but eventually get burnt out.
2) they'll become servants or assistants to the "true" family
...both are just sad. Even if they're not as wealthy, these kids deserve a normal loving home and family. Say what you want but no one can divide their attention and care equally with so many kids. It's a huge responsibility FL isn't ready for imho. She barely healed and got her own sh*t together. You can't pour from an empty cup!
