Yes, these Gen Zers graduated from high school/college, got their first jobs and started attending concerts and festivals around this time, but they also missed out on fundamental life lessons due to their severely limited social contact and interaction (from roughly 2020-2022).

I know different people reach developmental milestones at different times, but potty training is usually complete well before high school graduation.

Semi relatedly apparently there's some big problem with American children not being potty trained nowadays.

Parents legitimately expect public teachers to do this. I'm not kidding. Not all of them obviously but in my partners class of like 25 1st graders about 5 kids were not poddy trained and one parent legit said she thought the school was going to do it. Like wtf lady did your 1st grade teacher poddy train you or something?

I have a shitton of memories from very young and I don't even remember not being able to go to the toilet myself.

I didn't potty train my children cause I was told that the children who had been potty trained has been overtaken by the woke-mind virus mob.
