"Ben! He isn't your servant, he is your son. Yes, you want him to follow in your footsteps and care for his siblings. And you hope he does because he loves his family, but you can not force him. Rose is almost old enough to work, and I would always open my home to help them, even if it would be difficult. If something were to happen to you, between me and maybe some charity, it would work out until they could find something to do. I would never let your kids find themselves homeless and starving. And they will be adults before you know it and will have their own jobs but you have to give them the right to look elsewhere if they really don't want to follow you. If you kept this up and passed, what would keep him from running away in the night? It isn't against the law so I can't get hunt him down and make him. Your children would be even worse off than they would have been if you just let him be."
