Hmph....
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..."
My grandmother always did this. We were all high achievers, etc. However, when I got to college, I was speaking with a cousin my age and it turns out that my Grandmother did the same with them. She started telling me that all our GM talked about was our accomplishments - and my cousin is very accomplished.
LOL
