I wonder if there is a more specific question that you want to ask, but are holding back for some reason?
If a child's individual needs are being met, then possibly it does not matter whether one parents feels indifferent to the importance of giftedness. It may just be a matter of perspective as I agree very much with the last paragraph of Ivy's response, "Notice that I've put this in the context of what the child needs. Children need all kinds of to be happy and well-adjusted, and appropriate intellectual stimulation is only one of them. "
But if you felt comfortable sharing more details, maybe this group could help more...
