I’m not sure when the whole notion of doing everything for your child began, but it has been devastating to the last couple of generations.  It used to be that raising self-sufficient children was the goal.  Now it seems to be “mean”.

I’m not sure if it was a matter of self-preservation, or just my teacher mode kicking in, but from the beginning our goal in raising the children was to teach them to be self-sufficient.  

We aren’t raising children, we’re raising adults.
