Do any or many of you feel like you have children who are many SDs above you in terms of IQ?

I do think my kids are smarter than I am, though I'm not sure by how much. I don't know my exact IQ, but I have a general idea (I was tested as a child).

My DH has never taken an IQ test, but he is definitely smarter than I am. I'm okay with all of this. I have some areas of major strength where I outshine him, but he's a renaissance guy (he can do anything--though he doesn't like higher math).

When I help DD with her math, if it's a spatial question and she feels confused, she's more likely to be the one to figure it out first. (I'm terrible with anything spatial.) Really, I shouldn't even help with those.
