LOL, good one. Imagine being a child trying to talk about dinosaurs or whatever and you get rained on by these dark cloud depressive losers. Dreadful

God, you all are so clueless. You are raising a generation of idiots.

Lettuce prey!

If only we could follow the advice of your parents, who raised such a well spoken, witty, intelligent, insightful, and downright great person. With really well orchestrated arguments and comebacks.

You flatter me so, but unfortunately, not everyone can be as smart as you.

I would also assume kids that prefer to talk to adults are on the spectrum. They are probably changing the topic to talk about their special interest.


That being said, I think the best thing that you can do is to model with your own children. What do you do when your kids come around while you are talking with your friend?

Please read a book of child development and educate yourself. This is completely normal behavior in young children.

It’s really not.

Normal kids prefer to play with other kids, not sit and engage in adult conversations for hours. I’m not saying you should let it go, just that maybe OP’s kids are happily playing with other children instead of talking to adults about the 18 different kinds of wolf spiders because they are wired differently, not because she is a superior parent who wouldn’t tolerate that behavior.

Plenty of super smart kids prefer to talk to adults rather than kids. My sister was very smart and taught herself to read at 3. She's very social though and loves to talk, but she was far above the intellectual level of other kids her age. Now she's a well adjusted adult with impeccable social skills and a high paying job- probably because she spent a lot of time engaging with and learning from adults. She had plenty of friends her own age too, but she could have conversations with people older who were more intellectually compatible with her. Contrast that to many of the people on here who were ordered not to talk to adults and have admited mental health issues

As an adult, I would still assume that something was unusual with your sister, and I would be kind and polite, but redirect.

Well thank God she didn't have you as a parent- she might not have achieved massive success working for a huge company in a very high position making bank.

And see, this is why not everyone should have children or be around them. Not everyone is good with kids, just like not everyone is smart, funny, kind, good at sports, beautiful, etc. Oh well. Just know you're bad with kids and do your best to avoid forcing them to be around you

And for the first time you actually said something correct! Nice! That's progress!

Just do a facetime call with your friend when the kids are occupied. You shouldn’t be “meeting up” with people in person now anyway.

Let me repeat what has already been said, NO ONE ELSE THINKS YOUR KID IS SUPER SMART. We do think both your kid and you have no manners.

You don’t have to think my kid is super smart, his intelligence speaks for itself. He is levels above you, he certainly doesn’t need your acceptance.

What is unusual is her intelligence level. It is uncommon to be gifted, so those who are stand out from the rest and unfortunately are judged by people like you.

Probably not. Thanks so much for your perspective. You and your sister sound like wonderful daughters. It warms my heart to see how much you appreciate your parents.

If the mom's raising such selfish little creatures on purpose then all you can do is childless interaction, or none.

OP here and while that may be true that I don't want to hear them talk about cats, I would never talk that way to a child! Sorry. Probably stuck with you because it was kind of hurtful.

Truth hurts sometimes. Bet PP learned not to interrupt and her parents probably weren’t crowdsourcing help online about it. There are lines of authority for a reason and parents aren’t always hurtful to be curt or frank. If they don’t learn at home they won’t know what to face in the real world. Or god forbid the military or a boarding school.

Dp. Yet those same parents will wonder why Susie doesnt share her thoughts and feelings with her parents when older. Because mom and dad arent interested!

+1. If the kid was actually that damn smart, he'd have figured out how to shut his mouth by now.

Only on DCUM, could a post about an OP, prefering to have time with just her adult friends become attacking OP for having anxiety, unresolved childhood traumas, and being intimdated by intelectually superior children.

Nope, he is just tired of pretending to like superheros and Ninja Turtles and is seeking out intellectual stimulation from anyone willing to engage with him.
