It's NOT you. Hell, I have only been in this a third of the time you have and I can tell you that in my nine short years I have seen the change. Kids are soooo babied now. I get kids who come in at 12 months old and are not even able to use a sippy cup or feed themselves finger food. They never walk, are always held or pushed around in a stroller. NONE of them know how to self-soothe AT ALL and they all take FOREVER to transition during nap times.

And of course, in their entire first year of daycare they can not have ANY strawberries, peanut butter, eggs, limited dairy etc etc etc....I mean, I'm pretty sure that it takes 10,000 years for a gene sequence in humans to change so I wonder WHY we suddenly can't even EAT real, common foods for the first two years of our life.....

Oh, and potty training........man, oh, man.....pretty soon it's gonna be cheaper just to buy some big old Depends for these kids rather than those ENORMOUS diapers they now make for 4 year olds!

Yeah, seriously........... .........NOT YOU!
