Just so you know, though-- this variety doesn't like hearing THAT, either. (Right back to the selective deafness parenting technique.)

Either way, y'all have my condolences and sympathy here. I get to the point of wanting to tear my hair out when I get treated to how DD isn't GOOD at anything (yes, she really says this to me) and how everything we point to as counterexamples is just "Meh," "meh," or "meh" depending on the example. I feel like I'm arguing with an Emo-fixated BILLY GOAT after a while.

It's so grossly unfair to be THAT good at THAT many different domains and view it all with that level of angst and ennui.

There's a corollary here with vegetables and starving children in Africa, I'm sure. (And likely with the same overall success rate as far as arguments go with children, I'd guess.)
