What is the most obnoxious or even delusional brag you have heard from a parent about her/his child?

| A friend of mine claims that her DCs started pulling up at 4 months, and that one potty-trained HIMSELF at 13 months. |

GREAT TOPIC!
One mom assured me her 6 year old had read all of the Harry Potter books by herself. My son read Junie B Jones at that age. One mom told me her nine year old son was writing a book. |

| I was at a party last night and someone claimed that her soon to be 5 year old was so far advanced than others of her age group that they will have to "suck it up and make the sacrifice" to send her to private school for "a few years" (this is in Fairfax County!). |

Tell her "Wow, she has very advanced interests - I guess you hope she doesn't get her period similarly early!" That ought to shut her up. |

I don't think that was a brag. |

lol. Are you inferring that all of the "gifted" children are weird? |

We had a friend claim to have potty-trained her child by 4months!! Of course none of us knew her then so couldn't call her out. A 4month old doesn't even know when its going to cr*p so I seriously doubt this claim. Holding an infant over a toilet when it has the 'shit-grunt' face is not potty-training. |

Just for the jealous ones who have to empty the diaper genius... |

Why would you assume this is delusional? My nephew was definitely doing that, legitimately. Lots of six-year-olds are extremely advanced readers and can read Harry potter. Personally, I wouldn't want a six-year-old reading that because of the advanced content in the later ones, but it's completely possible that it was happening. |

Eh, sometimes that can't spot the real talent.
