It' interesting to read everyone's family history
My father's family has produced many MDs and Ph.Ds. I am almost certain that my father is 2e. His sister was probably PG. My father said she was the only one he ever encountered growing up who was clearly smarter than him. She scored perfect marks on her college entrance exam but her father refused to allow her to go to college. I hate to say this but her children (2 girls and 1 boy) weren't very smart. My siblings also struggled at school too.
SO comes from a family of engineers and musicians. I think one of his great aunts was the first female engineer in her country.
The funny part is, when I was expecting DD, SO and I used to argue about the pros and cons of retention. The idea that our unborn child might be bright or talented never crossed our mind. I don't think of us as being all that smart.
