Hmph....
I feel I only have a few adults I can talk to about my DD6's giftedness: The School Personnel & Immediate Family.
So we got together with my in-laws today (they drive me nuts to begin with, but I tolerate them). Maybe it was because I have PMS or there was some change in the air pressure, but today they just got under my skin I probably responded inappropriately.
Well we just finished discussing about how DD has been formally identified and the school has been great creating an IEP, etc. After the discussion, my mother in-law starts to go and on about our nephews who are 3 1/2 and 18 months -- "Oh! The 3 1/2 year old is talking up a storm and the 18 month old is pointing to things he wants...the 3 year old is FINALLY going to preschool this fall...." yada yada yada --- Just going on and on about general toddler milestones. (My nephews and their parents were not in attendance). It just irked me, I feel that I can never have a proud moment just for MY DD -- so I responded with "Well, my DD was talking up a storm at 18 months and in preschool by 2 years..."
I NEVER respond like that, but just couldn't hold it in.
Thank you for listening to my rant. I could have gone on and on, but just needed to let it out a little bit. GRRRRR.......
