I'm obsessed with parents who think their babies are geniuses. It makes sense why a mother who spends 24 hours a day with her kid might come to that conclusion, especially if they pass developmental milestones with flashing colors. Everyone thinks their kid is much more special than they objectively are, and there's nothing wrong with that. If your parents have a high opinion of your intellect, that's good, actually! It's way better than having a parent who calls you "stupid." It's great to have those five delusional years before schooling starts where you can rot in your domestic space, contemplating all of the scholarships, National Book Awards, and Pell Grants your baby will get because they learned their ABCs three months earlier than average. If you are a former parent of a gifted baby who rolls your eyes at your past self or just like wild parenting posts, you've come to the right place.
