I agree with you on the score of maturity, however I think it is the combination of physical and emotional attributes. It is not just the diapers, there are so many young people growing up to today without any of the basic living skills.

When it comes to cooking, they know how to throw something in the microwave - but not how to cook a 'meal'. I know some youngsters that have never operated a washing machine - they left that to mom to do.

We don't seem to be preparing our kids for the future anymore - that is the overall point of the article.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
