Do you think your child is the best

[Newuser75]

Following on from a post asking if parents think their child is the best looking.

Something I've been wondering, do all parents think their child is the best?

So in a group of kids the same age do you think your child is better than the others? If so in what way? And vice versa?

Just out of interest

Yes my children are the best. Why?

Her character came second to everything else? I've loved reading most comments, yours made me a little uncomfortable.

My dd is also obsessed with her hair and skin care. Has her own taste in clothes and has a loyal, close group of friends. I'm happy that she's happy.

Nah I am pretty objective. I just see things for what they are. Of course I am their biggest supporter though

No

But other people's children are far more irritating so I'll keep the ones I have

Objectively both sons are the best in terms of attractiveness, especially DS1. When I see them compared to their peers yes they are. DS1 is also the best in terms of kindness. Is he the best intelligent wise or sporty wise? No. DS2 is only 2 so too early to tell his other abilities. I think he is probably the best at throwing tantrums...

They are the best to me though, and I feel bad for all you other mothers that you dont get to parent my delights!! I wouldnt swap them for anything.

My twins are the best little people I could have asked for and, my God they are challenging (both are ND, as am I), but I lobe their quirks and they are the best at bringing out the best in me. Considering all they have been through in their short lives, I think they are GLORIOUS!

As I've already said, my daughter is the girl I dreamed of being when I was a teen (and I was the complete opposite). I was an unsporty, nerdy outsider who was very academic, but spent my time dreaming of unattainable popular boys who wouldn't look twice my way. PE was my idea of hell 😖, but I was a straight A student and particularly excelled in humanities.

My daughter is the girl who wins all the sports awards at prize giving ceremonies (and none of the academic ones 😂), who hates most subjects (and particularly languages/humanities) but wants to take PE for GCSEs. She's always follows the latest trends and is the popular girl at school. She also inherited my ex-husband's looks (the only good thing about him) and thankfully none of mine 😂

I know she’s better at some things than some people.
I don’t think she would objectively be classed as ‘the best’ at anything though. She’s bright but no genius. She loves dance and music but she’s never going to be on the stage.
She is a very good cook/baker. That’s her real standout gift.
She is also a very good friend.
I think she’s amazing in lots of ways but I’m biased!

Yep. I’m not remotely interested in other people’s children. The older I get, the less interested in other people’s children and pets I become.

Yes my eldest is the best. He was in a play at the weekend and he was the best actor and the best looking by a country mile. He’s also the cleverest, kindest and loveliest child there’s ever been.
My youngest projects an air of being annoying and whiny but what people don’t know is that he’s secretly the best. He hides his light a bit but actually it’s my secret that he is absolutely delicious. He feels no need to seek praise or be acknowledged as the best, he is just a wonderful loving human when you get to know him.
So yes I’ve got the two best kids which is weird coincidence and probably a bit unfair to everyone else but there you go.

Mine defo is. She's only 2, but she's so much more engaging and interactive than other kids her age. I'm sure everyone thinks the same of their own kids though. But seriously, mine is the best 😝

I don’t really need my kids to be better than other kids. I admire their qualities. I’m relieved for them that they’re much more attractive than I was at their age because I know it’s one less thing to stress over in the teen years. But that’s just luck so not something be proud of.

They’re both very intelligent but I am most proud that they’re interested in the world and how things work, not that their marks are higher than others.

I absolutely love them to pieces and I’ll always support them but I have a realistic view of their struggles and faults too.

I don’t think it’s healthy for parents to be in thrall to their own kids. You’re supposed to be guiding them not worshipping them.

This has made me well up...what a lovely post. Your daughter sounds fabulous, and so do you 😊

I think my grandaughter is the best person in the world. She’s the prettiest girl in the world, she’s the funniest girl, she’s just bloody perfect in every single way. I always think other kids look very average compared to her, she’s absolutely flawless. She’s clever and kind, so well behaved, absolutely bloody perfect.

I may be a bit obsessed with her. She’s 3 😂 I’m sure she’ll be famous one day ❤️ she’s my precious.

My DD is ‘the best’ reader in her class (as told by her teacher) and won all the races at sports day so is arguably the best runner. She’s also incredibly strong and had amazing handwriting. She’s also my child so- THE BEST!
We talk a lot about people have different skills and how they should be valued. She’s aware she’s bright and in the top groups when they do group work. She’s also competitive which drives me mad.
i certainly don’t coo over her or think she’s more beautiful that all the others etc!

Yes!
Mine has a magic that makes everyone love him. ❤️

My child is way better than other people's children.

I'd expect them to say the same about theirs...
