to feel like every mumsnetter child is super academic and/or has SEN/SN?

[manicinsomniac]

Does nobody have a child who is just 'average'? Please?

I'm not completely exempt - I have one daughter who is very academic and has mental health problems (so not SN but certainly AN) and it's too soon to tell what my youngest will be like.

But my middle daughter is just ... normal. No academic brilliance, no special needs, no educational needs. Just average. And it sometimes feels like she's the only one in the mumsnet world!

Maybe there's just less to say/worry about for these kinds of children though.

I'm not complaining about her - she's happy and she 'kicks ass' in the performing arts world. But she's a 'straight B/C student' as far as the classroom goes.

I've got both. Does that give me top trumps

Well my dc are very boringly average in some things. That means I have very little to say about them, and I'm much less likely to comment on a subject where mine have a okay experience.

For example, dd2 is missing her hand. If someone posts about missing limb type things, I have a huge amount of experience and information I can give. I would almost always post some sort of reply.
I wouldn't post knowledgably about most other SN/SEN

Schoolwise the most I have to say about art is that perfectionism+lack of art ability+art homework=a very long time + frustration.
There are other subjects that I have much more to say because either they have struggled badly or done particularly well in, those I would be much more likely to comment.

It's a bit like no one ever starts a blog that goes "I had this really worrying symptom and it turned out to be nothing."

DH and I were both very high achievers at school. Our DD is average as average can be. And shows no particular aptitude for music, dance or anything else. I come from a family of averagers so maybe I was just a strange outlier who did well.

Being average strikes me as being fine. You can do a lot of interesting things in life with average attainment if you are so inclined.
