[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed many parents we know who are superstars in their fields have average/below average children. The kids are not motivated.

I wonder if they were born less intelligent or it is their upbringing.

We just spent the weekend with a family whose parents are some of the most intelligent kind people we know. [b]Their kids are an absolute disaster in every way possible[/b].[/quote]

Oh come on. Hard to believe this is not a huge exaggeration. How old are their kids?[/quote]

Fighting, screaming, whining, hitting, complaining, being disrespectful 75% of the time. The parents just tune out. It is like they just accepted this poor behavior and don’t know what to do with the children.

I’m surprised how such competent people can be such horrible parents.[/quote]

My DD went to daycare at a hospital daycare center and the most aggressive kids in that place had two surgeon parents. I remember one parent describing the surgeons' kid's 5th birthday as a terrifying WWE-like experience involving bodyslammig at the trampoline park. I didn't think of it at the time but it may have been their jobs? There were a lot of high profile career people there and the kids were great by and large so not sure.[/quote]
