Determined Homesteader's Children	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Offspring of the Determined Homesteader and the Determined Homesteader's Wife. Homesteaders tended to have large families, resulting in Massive Numbered Siblings. They provided a future for the homestead (and when old enough could homestead adjacent territory to add to the family farm), were a handy source of free labor, and—let's face it—there wasn't much else to do on long winter nights. And they were often willing to take in foster children of relatives or neighbors. Most visual media will go for smaller numbers of children, to save on budget, screen focus, and the difficulties of working with child actors. Even literary works often cut it down for the focus problem. This is usually Justified by having high child mortality, which was, in Real Life, what usually kept the count of children down. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Perhaps the most frequent use of the Determined Homesteaders Children in fiction is to have one befriend The Drifter, inducing the stranger to help the homesteaders against whatever hazard the farm is facing. They will also help with chores, sometimes leading to a plot complication when something goes wrong under their watch, or they make an error. Examples:

Determined Homesteader's Children / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld as envisaged by A.A. Pessimal provides a different example. Building on scattered hints of its existence in canon, the Discworld gets its South Africa, populated by hardy Boers and other emigrants from the Central Continent, who Trekked into the interior of a new continent to make homes there. Andreas Smith-Rhodes and his wife Agnetha Smith-Rhodes are typical examples of frontier homesteaders, and between them have five children, five sons and daughters-in-law, and a large number of grandchildren. Two of the daughters were determined to get the hells out and ended up in Ankh-Morpork. One stayed; the other found herself returning to Rimwards Howondaland to marry a landowner and work a bit of land far away from the frontier. A son with no great ambition to leave also, despite himself, emigrated to Ankh-Morpork. A young woman was involved in this.

Determined Homesteader's Children / int_f7effcfd	comment	The Trail to Oregon!: Parodied. While Son, a 7-year-old boy, is certainly determined, he's also The Ditz, as he tends to stick inappropriate things in his mouth and throw vital supplies off the back of the wagon when he's bored. Daughter, meanwhile, is a Bratty Teenage Daughter and less than enthused about the trek, wanting to run off with the first guy who woos her. note The show's Audience Participation element meant that the characters got new names each performance, just like The Oregon Trail game. The Youtube version named them Craphole and Mouthface.
