[quote=Anonymous]She's a child.  How do children have "shortcomings"?  Its not a word I'm used to hearing used with children.   Some kids have certain talents and many kids struggle with certain things but to see it referred to as "shortcomings" sounds like you are writing her off.  She's a kid.  You shouldn't be measuring her.

I think the reason someone is accusing you of being a trol lis that you keep digging in.  Your delight in your other DD's looking up Mesopatamia reenforces what all of us have been saying about how you prefer her.  So what?  Kids look up all sorts of things.  If you are crowing about your little genius because of what she googles you could be doing real damage to her as well.  Its actually a burden to be the golden one and it sounds like you are scrutinizing her too closely as well, its just that you like what you see there.  And by the way, kids whoa re constantly praised and told how smart they are end up less successful then the kids who are not told its all going to come naturally to them.  I'm betting on "this child" to be the successful one.  She may not still be talking to you, but she could go far.[/quote]
