Wait! We are seeing an increase of parents skipping protecting their child from deadly diseases. Why are “shocked” that they don’t care for their kids either?
That is in a way correct. Washing cloth diapers was incredibly annoying and single use diapers have been a big relief. Before that, the need/urge/desire to get rid of diapers was a big factor in deciding when to approach potty training.
But maybe it is a good thing that kids aren’t being rushed anymore and are given the time they need to understand their bodies. Child led potty training is an incredible privilege and I can absolutely understand that 50 years ago this would have taken the strongest nerves to practice.

People are mostly doing it because diapers are better than they were in the past.
