[quote=Anonymous]Okay. Bear with me, but this really changed my perspective. There are sequels to Little Women called Jo’s Boys and Little Men. In them, Jo from Little Women opens a boarding school and more or less raises five or six boys (and one girl) who come there. In Little Men, they grow up and go in their own different directions doing different things. Some do well. Some get into trouble. As the narrator, Jo is happy for them or worried for them or proud for them, but she never takes credit for their lives good or bad. The boys have their own lives. She is there to guide them, but not to own them. Anyway, I reread these books when my kids were little, and it really change my perspective on what I wanted to be as a mother. [/quote]
