Reply To: Little Women

[Jacy Cohen]

I love in chapter 8 when Marmee is talking to Jo about controlling her temper. She says that it was easier for her to learn to control her temper for her children rather than herself. How true that having children makes us want to kill all of our sin because we want to be the best parents we can for our little ones and not pass on any of our sin habits to them.

And the sweetness of father having a little signal with Marmee when he knew she was about to lose her temper. The devotion he showed in being willing to know her, watch her, and help her so diligently and without harshness.
