Thank you all. I have shaken it off.. I just really needed to vent after spending 3 days with her LOL. There were times that she would say something positive about DD and her abilities, but it was almost in the next breath that she had to discount it by saying something completely opposite. Such as one time she said dd would be so far ahead by the time she started school that she would be grade levels ahead and homeschooling would probably be best because it would be worrying for DD to be with kids so much older....in literally the next breath she made the comment about reading being from memory and kids who read at dd's age forgeting it all by K. So it was very frusterating and confusing.
I had been asked by MIL to hide dd's abilities so to speak, and I chose not to. They need to accept her for who she is. So while I did not talk about DD's abilitis, I also let dd be herself, bring the things she wanted to, etc.
Who knows maybe I was colored by what MIL had asked me to do, and took things wrong, but I am over it. And one good thing that came out of all of this.....I am really appreciating my child's boundless energy and kookiness LOL. I always wished dd would sit still more and nap still and be quite, but after being around a child who does makes me realize I would be bored LOL. And today I am appreciating the incessent chatter and movement lOL
