That sadly does not surprise me at all and is what I have found to be the case. Unfortunately now I just don't talk about dd and what she is doing except to a few people who I know are supportive. Luckily I have 2 neighbors and good friends who fall into that category, but before I found them, I just kept quiet. It hurt not being able to share when I was so proud of something dd had done, taught herself, accomplished, etc. Or society is just adverse to hearing about kids who are ahead academically, sport it's a-okay, but anything else, you as a parent must be lying, bragging, and pushing and it absolutely can not be true. Sigh and HUGS
