I think some people think your kid's so smart only because that's how you raised them to be. You could have chosen to raise them to be sporty, religious, or fashionable. Maybe so. Maybe they are all of those things to some extent and you just nurture the kid that you see they already are. Then other times I think I should quit trying to guess what other people think because that would just be crazy.
Agreed. Helicopter parents and tiger moms are ruining it for the rest of us. Plus, most people just can't fit "my toddler would read all day if I didn't stop her and make her go play in the dirt" into their world view.
LOL @ raising them up to be fashionable, though, because my DD was obsessing on shoes before her first birthday.
