[quote=Anonymous]My ILs also do this, with not only intelligence but literally any positive quality, and it also annoys me. I get they are proud but after a while it feels rude and hurtful. Like it's everything -- her appearance, her academic performance, her manners, her love of reading, everything. It's either attributed directly to my DH or to some part of his family. And it's not like I'm mad that I don't get "credit" for it -- if anything, I'm irritated at how little credit they give to DD. She's not a great reader because her dad is a great reader, she's a great reader because she works at it. It's her victory, not just evidence of her superior genetics. Of course, if she does something they consider rude or inappropriate, that's always a parenting issue and since they believe parenting is mostly the responsibility of the mom, it's my fault. Yeah, don't love it![/quote]
