Yup, been there, done that and have most of those Tshirts.

Times have changed. Not necessarily all for the best imo.

Not all for the better-definitely not. Are we raising our kids in greenhouses now?

No disrespect, but I think there’s a survivorship bias being invoked in those kind of articles. I agree there should be more of a balance - it’s not all good wrapping kids in cotton wool - but on the other hand, how many baby boomers do you think didn’t survive those things? I’d guess plenty.
Thanks for this!
