I'm confused about what he said on that subject. I'm not a millennial, but my family will gladly pass around stories of my late mother going on about how I was some sort of super-baby. I'm not surprised that parents think their kids are special - but why did they start expecting
other people to believe it?
My mom died when I was five and I was raised by my grandparents; they had the opposite attitude. The school wanted me moved to a gifted program and they nixed that and didn't want to hear any talk about me being special; to them, I was just a kid, meaning I was good for running errands and doing yard work until I was old enough to get a job.
