what makes you think that Aragorn and Arwen would allow their kids to grow up spoiled?

That was just a brief and un-called-for bout of socialist-like resentment of the upper classes and all their privilege and pampering. I am over it now. It was late and I was weak. I am sure Arwen-the-breathless will make a fine mom ;~D

I will just go back to looking at the pretty pictures now.

Whenever you feel one of those bouts coming on, do what I do. Ask the butler to bring up a large port, have the footman turn away any visitors that might come calling, get one of the housemaids to run you a nice hot bath and another to build a fire in the reading room, have your valet set out some comfortable lounging wear, and curl up with a pleasant book. If that doesn't work, I've found that beating one of the page boys with a switch does wonders for relieving stress.
