FWIW, I don't share info with anyone except two other mom's who have HG/PG children and this board.
We live in a community where people move here specifically for the gifted programs.
People are extremely competitive about how smart their child is.
Many people think their child is the smartest child they have ever seen.
If they meet a child that challeges that idea............well, let me just say I've had a few parents approach me and want their child to be friends with DD7. After spending a little time around her, they slowly back away.
She is a lovely child, sweet, no behavior problems. She just spooks people sometimes.
My two BFF's with pg kids go to different schools within the district, so it's nice.
I'm just not competitive, sometimes I wish DD's were not so different KWIM?
I don't talk to other parents about what the girls are doing because I find it counterproductive in terms of the girls socializing.
If you've never been to Kenya, you couldn't describe the terrain or subtleties of the local culture, right?
Just last week my BFF mom at school started asking me pointed questions about a highly secret ability grouping going on for six in the grade.
Then she started asking me to name kids.
I lied and told her I didn't know anything about it.
After she left, I felt like I'll never have a friend around here.
Oh well,
Incog
