Are you too "Particular" about your child?

Since the dawn of mankind parents have taken great pride in the fruit of their loins. However some of us enter into an elitist bourgeois mindset when it comes to our children. There is no child smarter than ours. Not one person is capable of giving our child the proper care. We are the best Mom and Dad ever. Parents with the preceding views often spend their money on children's designer clothing, purchase all the Baby Einstein products and consider every sound from their child's mouth as proof that their child is exceptional. I have found that the best thing to do is humor them. Smile and say "Oooo, Awww." It gives them a sense of self worth and importance. Continue to be friends with such parents because more likely than not, they do not have many left. If you are a proud mother and father remember that your baby is doing exactly what he/she is supposed to do. Junior may seemed advanced but more likely than not, he is just being a BABY :=)
