#so yeah I think it's pretty normalised part of life in Zaun

Random thought! But, I remember a detail that Vander and Silco used to let their children sleep in between them in bed to keep them safe from people breaking in. Which made me think, did any of them experience a break when their children were really young? What did they do when it happened?

Yeah I think it happened a few times, probably more before they moved into the Last Drop but even after they did I wouldn't rule it out. It's one of those facts of life in Zaun and you just have to deal with it. Eventually they reach a social position where people stop because their reputation is known enough to be a powerful deterent.

Thankfully most of the time the attempted-robbers tend to be pretty easy to scare off. At least once though it probably escalated to violence because the robbers didn't just run away when they realised the occupants of the place were awake and aware of them but I don't think it ever escalated to murder. Just maiming. At least if it was at Vander's hands they're probably only dealing with a broken nose and maybe concussion before being thrown out on their asses. With Silco they need stitches afterwards.

I will also note that I think co-sleeping with ones children, especially when they are very young, is kind of the norm in Zaun and cribs are viewed as a luxury. Hell, it's probably pretty common for whole families to share one bed.
