I don't know why but my FIL thinks my kids are idiots. Says things like,"If you go to college..." (one is already in college), but doesn't realize that 700+ on each section of the SAT is pretty good. He also dislikes that my kids get the NYT. He thinks they are ultra liberal - they are actually conservative but just go through the first few pages to quickly get the news of the day. I don't think he speaks the same way to his other grandchildren.

My kids don't get the same comments from him when it comes to sports. He actually thinks more highly of their athletic abilities than he should.
