I hope LO is brilliant but I wouldn't want her to be super socially backwards; and I definitely wouldn't want an athlete who wasn't smart as they would probably blow through their millions buying stupid stuff and end of bankrupt like so many athletes. Then they would have to move back home with me!

However, both being my DH's children they are probably going to be very intelligent and socially awkward, just like DH (hahahaha), but I picked average. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-when-heshe-gets-older-average-super-intelligent-or-athletically-gifted#post-413159 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 07:41:59 +0000 Sammyfab 413159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the only one that picked athletically gifted!! </p> <p>I had to give this a lot of thought...but I would hope that if my LO had enough athletic talent to be a professional athlete he'd have the dedication and work ethic to match. I think those two qualities would still get him far in life even if he wasn't the smartest cookie in the jar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-when-heshe-gets-older-average-super-intelligent-or-athletically-gifted#post-413058 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 00:06:11 +0000 banana 413058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>average! as long as they're happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-when-heshe-gets-older-average-super-intelligent-or-athletically-gifted#post-413010 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 22:57:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 413010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I always talk about this too! We would also choose average... we just want them to be a normal, happy, well-adjusted, socially accepted member of society who has a good understanding of humanity. High E.Q. qualities of compassion, understanding, has good self-awareness as well as considerate of those around them, etc. are more important to us than being super intelligent or athletic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-lo-when-heshe-gets-older-average-super-intelligent-or-athletically-gifted#post-413004 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 22:46:26 +0000 Freckles 413004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today DH and i were talking about what we would want for LO if we had to choose from 3 options.</p> <p>Obviously we hope that she's a little above average, but is it bad that if we had to choose among those 3, we'd choose 1? After that, we'd rather have her be super intelligent...even though DH kept saying, "C'mon...we could go to Wimbledon...to watch our daughter!!"</p> <p>What would you choose? </p>
