The Birthmother has three years of doing nothing but producing three children. After that she is a Laborer for the rest of her adult life until the day she enters the House of the Old. Lily's mom said there is very little honor in that Assignment, and there are three lazy years, and then hard labor until you are old. Her father said the Birthmothers never even get to see the newchildren.
