While I don't support the views on this site necessarily or endorse the info I thought it was food for thought. I was randomly looking for something similar when I ran across this site. Top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint ... Check it out if you wish for your own info and make up your own mind. By the way, I use many or most of the things mentioned like alot of people. I couldn't list the site as I wanted but copy and paste will take you there.

yeah kids are kinda becoming asthmatic, illness prone, long suffering little Guinea pigs for the drug companies and parents that are too busy trying to make a living... I've always thought that way.

Ya,but be a stay at home mom and see the beating you take from people!!!! My family still thinks I'm afraid of success because i gave my business up to be home with the kids,eating food we grow,living simple,I wondered when we would pay for all the GREAT "THINGS" we can give our kids in a 2 person working family,also wonder about all the time kids are not allowed to just PLAY,they are in 10 sports,music,civic theater,swimming lessons,dance,never can sit down to a family meal and people think we are not paying a price? Kids come over here and don't know how to just play out side in the woods or even the grass!!! They have to have video's or games or they want to go home!!! LOL,we played for hours outside growing up!!!! On top of the exercise we got I wonder about all that FRESH AIR,we got,kids stay inside most of the day now.We recently bought as a treat store bought icecycles(in plastic tubes you freeze),my 6 year old went nuts,running all over ,being aggresive,mean,hypper,even my teen kids asked what i let him eat,It was the dye in them!!!!! I'll make my own,thankyou!!! I'm afraid what we will find out over the next 25 years,we need to make changes now and letting kids get some sleep is one of them top on our list!!! My sister takes my nieces to preschool by 7 am and does not see them again until 7p.m. at night ,they are in "programs"the rest of the time,get home at 8p.m. ,eat,(fast food of course no time to cook),go to bed about 10p.m. only to start all over again! What a life?!!!! What are we doing ? This is progress?

I agree with you totally. Seems ppl want kids to be born talking and join pre-pre-pre something before they can walk. My daughter-in law was saying something is wrong with my grandson cause he wasn't talking at 6 months or 2 years or something. We said just give him some slack, kids start things at different times. No down time these days. And you are right bout stay at home moms, there is something wrong with THEM. Yea right. We are in too big a hurry these days. Please let me digress to the fifties. lol
