No. I was being kind and letting that go. Have you ever raised a child? They wear diapers all the way up to 3 years (or older if they are stubborn)- depending on when they train. Lots of toddlers (who are children) wear diapers- but I was going to let that go, figuring you were just ignorant. But you wanted to follow up. So we've followed.

We had a kid wearing diapers until almost 4 years old - not because we wanted them to but because each kid is on their own track. Having a new child upset the dynamic and this manifested in the potty protest and a bite on their baby brother in a fit of jealousy at 2 1/2 years old after we left we her alone with him for less than a minute - we didn't train her to do that either. Maybe you were lucky in your child rearing but kids of any kind can be a-holes. Another one, when she was 8 years old, would be attacked by insects that would literally seek her out to sting her. No kidding - I actually saw it happen - I'd thought she'd been provoking them but not this time. My only explanation was that she had a lot of rage that her siblings never had - and I think these triggered reactions in insects which can smell her internal psychological state, probably through a pheromone analog. I've only been stung three times and of those, in two, the insects were accidentally provoked by me by stepping on a nest or an individual, and the third provoked by someone else who messed with it when it fell into their beer bottle. So - yeah it would be great if our ancestors were not angry things. But violence is in our genes. Compassion has to be learned and emotions have to be controlled. It is fine to feel rage but not to act on it. It is best if we can learn to manage our internal state and not feel the rage in the first place.
