More Letters From Pemberley
“Your devotion to your Children is indeed exemplary and much remarked upon among our acquaintance as the finest example of Motherhood, and a standard to which we should all aspire.
Your advice did not fall upon deaf ears, I assure you, and it was especially pleasing to know that we share similar views on so many topics. That we should disagree on a few trifling points is therefore of little import and I would not wish you to consider any differing views of mine as any criticism of yours. My ...choosing not to employ a wet-nurse, against your advice, may or may not be a modern fad, but in nursing my Child myself, I am obeying my instincts as a Mother, selfish instincts I have simply chosen not to deny.
On the subject of obedience and discipline in Children, I entirely agree that they are indispensable in their upbringing. All I intended to imply was that perhaps it is imprudent to call them forth too frequently on trivial occasions. Fear and force will, of course, govern Children when small, but I feel certain that having a strong hold on their affections will have the most influence over them as they journey through Life.MoreLess
