Anne Bradstreet missed her children when they left home. She wrote several poems that tell of them leaving, the nest and her alone.
When children grow up to quickly mothers lose there connection to them. In the political cartoon you see a child reading a book titled " How to grow up". In the poetry on Anne Bradstreet you see how much love and afection she has toward her kids and how much she miss them when there gone. The baby in the cartoons reading is alone. Anne Bradstreet writes on how important being with your children are. The mothers of today's youth's children are growing up faster then necessary.
