I used to be nice...

I used to be nice.
I used to say I loved all children.
Every baby was a beautiful baby.

I tolerated incompetence from others...
I mean, they didn't know better, It wasn't their fault that they didn't know what they were doing or what they were talking about etc...
I made excuses for people not doing their jobs or not doing them correctly.
I turned the other cheek.
I bit my tongue.

As I get older, I'm finding out that I'm not as nice of a person as once thought I was.
I can't help but notice the increasing number of ugly babies I see out there.
Children, who once were "cute" are becoming annoying little turds.

I am much less tolerant of incompetent people.
When someone doesn't do their job, I get down-right angry.
And I now, have no problem making it known.

I find myself dismissing people easier and easier.
It's almost like I don't have time for stupidity or rudeness or incompetence anymore.

I'm not sure if it's a self preservation thing, or Maybe I'm just turing into a crabby old woman... or, God Forbid....  I'm getting bitchy!

I'm not even sure if it's an age thing, or have I always been this way and now it's just coming out?
Hmmmmm
things to ponder...

Is it just me?
Or have you found that as the years ad up, your patience & willingness to excuse shortens?

Thoughts?
