Ah, yes...a little visit with the in-laws...

((hugs)) to you!

Your MIL is probably very proud of your DD (and may brag about her to other family members, annoying the heck out of them!)

People do feel uncomfortable talking about giftedness though. She may have been trying to find some common ground in the conversation by talking about the other kids (and change the subject because she was uncomfortable.)

It's too bad she isn't able to openly share your excitement about your DD.
