Gentle Measures in the Management and Training of the Young

CHAPTER XXII
6/17

But he will not make any effort to be still when you are sick, or to avoid interrupting you when you are busy; and insists, perhaps, on your carrying him when he is tired, without seeming to think or care whether you may not be tired too.

But in due time all this will be changed.

Twenty years hence he will conceal all his troubles from you instead of coming with them to you for comfort.

He will be off in the world engaged in his pursuits, no longer bound closely to your side.

But he will think all the time of your comfort and happiness.
He will bring you presents, and pay you innumerable attentions to cheer your heart in your declining years.
