When I read the story I identify the elements of the cruelty of people. The grandfather is spending time helping his daughter's with his grandchildren. He is aware that none of his daughters are married and each has a child, but he accepts and loves the children. He actually takes on a big role by taking all four at once and agreeing to watch the baby overnight.
When he goes to town the grandfather's vehicle is referred to by the two men as a bastardmobile. One of the children hears this. For me, I would be looking at the behavior of the men and attitudes as they reflect on the children and cause hurt through their words.
However, I very much liked what the previous editor wrote and I agree with her point of view as well.
