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?

anagram for troll as someone pointed out very early in the thread and in a thread I started earlier in the day. I saw this one and jumped on the back of it, sorry greeny! Twas so funny how you all argued even though you knew I was trolling! I was happy for greeny to take the blame too!

TeetheCeeofDavedom · 21/02/2007 16:06

But I love the arguing with a known troll who we all know is a regular with a name change. Bets kind of fun. Well done Rhubarb, very, very funny. And well doen Greeny for starting it, been thread of the week for me.

Oh what a shame this wasn't for real. I was enjoying it so much, chuckling to myself and thinking oh bloody good for you and your abacus-wielding child lollymum. I tried playing Mozart to dd from birth but she prefers her stupid hanging seahorse thing that plays a plinky plonky mobile phone tune when you press it. Gets a smile every time. That's my girl!
