I almost never offer up specifics about DD(8) to friends. I usually only talk about her to people I've already discovered "get" her, which is almost exclusively people we've worked with professionally who have gifted kids who are now older. For example, DD's old OT; the postpartum doula I hired when DS was born; the Feldenkrais therapists DD saw at the start of K; my real estate agent; my paternal aunt; the parent educator who ran the parent-baby group I attended with both kids. Otherwise, no, I might talk generally about DD being ahead in this or that, or share school frustrations, but not specifics most of the time.
