The Past
Generations ago the Mays were once an influential pureblood family. They were rich and well known in the pureblood community. They were elite and highly biased against halfbloods and muggleborns.
But Aurelius May (Rex and Roy's grandfather) wasn't good with money. He made several bad investments and lost a lot of money. His son, Orville, had a gambling problem and when he inherited the family fortune, he reduced it to almost nothing. By the time Rex and Roy were born, the family had sold their mansion and moved into a cheaper house in a muggle city.
The Mays' lavish lifestyle was a thing of the past, as well as their respect among purebloods.
Rex accepted this and was content to live an average life. He challenged his father's biases and was happy to live among muggles. He got a Ministry job, found a wife, and started a family.
But Roy couldn't let go of the past. He always resented his father for wasting the family's money. He believed that purebloods were superior and hated living around muggles, but he didn't have enough money to move. Eventually, he started a family and got a job as a potioneer.
The Present (Rex & Arlene)
A few years ago, Arlene fell ill and quickly became bedridden. Constance already looked after Rosamund whenever her parents were busy (which was almost all the time, except for a few months in the summer that she spent with Roy and Ruth) but caring for her little sister became wholly her responsibility. Esther missed a lot of school because she came home to help the family, but as soon as she graduated and turned seventeen she moved away.
Constance and Rosamund moved out to London, so Rosamund could meet other magical children before she goes off to Hogwarts. Constance got a job and basically became Rosie's mother.
Although Rosamund only spent a small percentage of her time with Roy and Ruth, their beliefs wormed their way into her head. She's become prejudiced and determined to reclaim the Mays' former position in high pureblood society.
