Answer 1

I have two average ordinary girls. I always hated it when new mommies and daddies got together and tried to outdo each other with what their little bundle of joy did. I hate going to parent functions so I hear the same things about teen agers. If your child is great.........good for you. Mine do okay in school. The pull their share of A's and some D's from time to time. They win their share of awards and games. But more than anything, I am just glad that they were born healthy, raised in a nice home and have decent morals and values. I have never pushed them to be more than they are...... themselves. That is what makes them special!

Answer 2

It depends on the individual situation. I have several Vietnamese friends who are teachers, one who is a librarian, another is a retired forest-science researcher, yet another is a veteran of the American war - he was on the losing side and lost his leg aling the way - now he and his wife sell beer and snacks in front of a "binh thuong" hotel on the main street in front of a so-so hotel in a central coastal town. I know a small person who sells sodas and snacks from a tiny stall on a street in Hanoi. I know another lady who has a small shop in a small town outside of Hanoi - her husband is off somewhere working. And I know others - one guy who can afford a mercedes. My former landlord sold our rental house for an incredible amount of money, and bought a very expensive BMW - even though he didn't know how to drive a car. My teacher friends are middle class - by any reasonable standard. Same for my retired friend, although he and his wife are on a tighter budget. The veteran and his wife are on the low end of the economic spectrum, but they have kids who no doubt support them. I have also met lots of poor villagers - living on the proverbial shoe-string. And I once had the chance to meet the "Bill Gates" of Vietnam - at least that is how my friend introduced him. He didn't look or act like it - but then what I have seen of Bill Gates, he doesn't seem to act the part either.

Answer 3

I have one perfectly ordinary (although too cute for words) 19-month-old boy. Of course, I think he's extremely handsome, much smarter than other kids and far happier, but that's a mother's pride speaking.

Answer 4

No parent thinks their kids are everyday or ordinary. Mine were the most spectacular children ever born. Now- at least in my eyes - they are the world's most talented and well-rounded teenagers and adults. Don't sell them short!
