I never discuss, share thoughts or ask for opinion with moms who I meet in the park. Nor do I discuss DS with coworkers or relatives. I have 3 friends IRL with very gifted children and to them, I turn for advise, opinions and info of the btdt variety. Both my husband and I do not like being discussed behind our backs - which is what was happening when we were freely sharing our child's milestones at work and with friends. So, I have learnt to divert the conversation, look dumb, give very vague answers like "we are a talkative family" or say things like "your DD is such a good artist" etc.
