Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion New to Forum

A brief intro before jumping in seemed appropriate, so this is it:

Four kids, two of whom are adults and two on the verge of teenager-ness. The two youngest (oh-so-creatively hereafter referred to as Boychild and Girlchild) are homeschooled (no denim jumpers, though I have been known to wear Birkenstocks). All have acquired the gifted label at some point or another; Girlchild is twice exceptional (also referred to as "that kid ain't right", what with being Southern and all). My story is that she's just like her dad.
I tend toward deadpan humor, run-on-sentences, and overuse of parentheses, and shall make a blanket apology upfront for all of those.

Nice to meet y'all.

Hi eldertree!
Welcome! I totally appreciate deadpan humor and still own Birkenstocks. I tend toward incomplete sentences and overuse of quotes myself.
I'm glad you found a place where your child 'is just fine'!
Look forward to hearing from you-

As a non-native adjusting to life in the South, this totally cracked me up. Welcome and I look forward to reading more of your posts.
P.S. And I've been referred to as "linky" because I like to posts so many links. I'm also the queen of the afterthought.

Welcome. Nice to meet you.

I have an 11 year old son who is 2E. My husband is perfect, therefore our son must be more like me.

I am trying to develop a sense of humor about it all.

This is where I wanted to post

Itry to blame it on son's father, anounomous soperm donor but he is a carbon copy of me but male w/ all that goes w/ that ie selective hearing

Hilarious!

I'm a mom of "that kid" myself. Welcome!

LOl!! too funny, welcome!

Welcome to the board eldertree and I can already tell you will have some wonderful posts. Look forward to reading more from you.

Welcome.

Thanks for the kind welcome! I've spent the weekend at a band event and am still deciding whether it's left me deaf or daft. (I have a sneaking suspicion it's probably both.)
