I think wives going to "baby groups" helps contribute to this. Baby group becomes a silent, veiled passive aggressive baby rearing competition.

I totally agree with you here. Its comical to watch...as the kids grow up some of the attendees can't understand why their kids are so whiny! Its because they can't do anything for themselves!!
I have a niece who is eight years old and has never walked to school on her own...I remember walking to school alone in kindergarten. She goes to an "arts-focused" school. I guess she was quite the performer when she made her career choice at 4 years of age? Everyone I knew growing up went to school with the unwashed masses and we all turned out just fine.
