I was going to weigh in on the snarky discussion, but, as all parties seemed to have resolved this, more's the better and I will stay out of it.
Good on all you concerned, BTW, for your handling of said discussion.
I have an idea to consider, if you wish. It has occurred to me that Sybil may not really be set on nursing as a career...it was just a way to feel useful during WWI and something she felt she could easily continue afterwards.
Could it be that it is the "wanting to be useful" as opposed to the "nursing" angle that Sybil would be able to follow, children or not. What would be avenues that she could pursue (any and all with Tom's support, I have to assume) that would fulfill her in that way?
Thoughts???????
