They did love him in their own way, but the profit motive always came first, which is why Jeremy was packed off to Gresham's in the first place so he would be a cut above people whom he would one day have to employ. After the death of his second sister Diana Nevill became morose and his emotions were cloistered, which may explain Sheila starting private school in mid-term. Nevill never pulled rank with his children, yet this was only viewed as a sign of weakness and exploited by them both.
As for June, she became estranged with everyone save the local vicar as her religious mania took hold and the family was sundered as Jeremy refused the role to which his parents had assigned him. Sheila for her part became more desperate as all her efforts proved ineffectual, and by the time the parents did try to rein in some of their children's behaviours the damage was irreparable.
Like so many post War families in Britain i am sure they were to some extent dysfunctional ...
Personally i blame the War and it's after effects for that ...
There were vast amounts of very damaged people in all strands of society after the War - it was a tough environment to grow up in in so many ways because of that ...
But they were 100% family - and Neville and June's deep love for their 2 children is in no doubt whatsoever in my mind ...
All over the world the big majority of people want their children to have the best possible education so as to give them the very best possible start in life ...
I do not accept that Neville (or June) sent them to boarding school for a "profit motive" however ...
Like most Parents they just wanted their very much loved children to have the very best possible start in life - for the children's benefit - not for the Parents benefit ...
Whether sending children to boarding school is actually a good idea on balance is another question - but i know for sure Nevile and June did it believing it to be the best thing for their very deeply loved children ...
Despite any faults they were 100% family ...
