Did the step mom have a job.


What did they do for a living to make money??

Despite Cinderella's father being wealthy, even wealthy people need to work for a living or they eventually go broke as time passes by.

Lady Tremaine does not work, but is rich before she marries Cinderella's father. The two fortunes combined have lasted throughout the years. However, I think that the stepmother is approaching the end of her savings and it's one of the reasons why she is so anxious to see one of her children marry the prince. There seems to be something more urgent and imminent than the chance for a higher status fueling Lady Tremaine's behavior when she demands that her daughters fly out of bed.
