Bad attitude of some of you here

There's a lot of bad attitude on here. Culture of underachievement and all that. It's sad and a bit shocking really when these children are the ones who really need the help and the resources and aren't getting it. My daughter is four and I'm not abashed to say the word 'genuis'. In front of her or not. It isn't a bad word, it's what she is and I love her for it.

How do I know? Oh please, this is the child who was playing - meaningully - with abacus at 3 months. Now four she has read Secret Seven and is working on newspapers. She has her own email.

So shoot me. My daughter is gifted, there, I said it. Why the bad attitude?

Very similar (and non-American!) styles - plus that errant "whilst" - it is defo greeny or rhubarb (and I think Greeny saying she had to own up because she was going out was another tease!)

OTOH 2 posts at 11.40 are v close together (but not close enough - 16 secs - 2 MN windows open and a name-change page - it's doable!)

I've been feeling very down of late, but since I am confined indoors with pleurisy I got too bored to stay off!

TeeCee · 21/02/2007 15:25

Tutter I had noticed the name thing, that's why I kept spelling the name as llort or other plays on the name and said that i liked the name

TeeCee · 21/02/2007 15:26
