Sheets and Giggles

I have so many questions about this next story. And it’s not the toy thing. Some people are big on wanting their children to get outside and explore and experience nature and ride bikes and skin their knees and such, so some people just don’t buy their kids toys. That’s fine.

But I really cannot get past the kids not having bedsheets on their beds. I’m pretty sure that it’s considered normal for people to have bedsheets, right? Clearly, it wasn’t a money thing since the woman is described as wealthy; does that means that she chose not to get them bed sheets? I’m trying to figure out how a woman who is described as “amazingly kind” just decides not to get her kids proper bedding.
