[quote=Anonymous]Kid is too young to tell, though I of course think she’s a genius. However, my DH is super smart but his parents are/were not. He was top of his class in high school, Ivy League on full scholarship. But his mom is kind of simple. His dad had a great capacity for acquiring facts, but lacked some basic common sense. His sister is the same. They are all wonderful people who have lived great lives. Intelligence is a blessing and a curse, and I don’t think it makes you happier. I’m really bright like my DH (just very academically successful) but I wouldn’t be sad if our kid wasn’t smart in that way. You can teach common sense, and kindness and usefulness are probably better qualities in the long run. I know many cruel smart people, many lazy and selfish smart people. It’s less important than you think.[/quote]
