We had friends who were the same. Had. When we adopted Shawntay, our daughters were the same age, and she had the audacity on several occasions to outright say things like "Oh, I have to give you Mom lessons!" and tell everyone within hearing I was new so I didn't know what I was doing. I'm still angry about it, and we don't see them anymore.

coco, your post made me laugh so hard. Reminded me of a friend of dh's who thinks his son is brilliant. One day, I got sick of it. He had said "We think he's exceptional". I said "Mmm Hmm." "No, really, we think he's exceptional". "Mmm Hmm". "He's really ahead of all the other kids". My reply "But it would be okay if he weren't exceptional, right? It would be just fine. Because each child has their own special gifts, intellectual or not. He could be really talented artistically, or a great guitar player, or a really good listener." He stopped talking.

Is there a mom and tot group in your area? Or a swim class you could take with your daughter?
