I agree with Grinity. "Passing" (or more usually, trying to pass and failing) is overrated and unhealthy to your child and to you. (Not that you were necessarily going that route. But if you were...)

I think this is the hand life dealt us/you. You can capitalize on it or bear it as a burden. Your choice.

And BTW, neither of those choices necessitates becoming an intellectual stage mom, which is mostly urban legend, I think. It's a cautionary tale used to keep parents of GT kids from getting uppity. But from what I've seen, moms of GT kids are not the ones buying up the Baby Einstein stuff. We're racing along behind our kids, just trying to keep up with them!
