Today, we got the IQ test results back, which show our daughter is on the high end of the genius scale. This confirms what my wife and I have long feared: our 6-year-old is FAR smarter than we are. No wonder she wins all the arguments we have. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 11-year-old son and I took an IQ test for a laugh. To be honest, I've often suspected that I may have some form of mental retardation, but I didn't expect to get a score of 79, while he got one of 114. FML
Today, my son is smarter than average, almost genius level, and he has now reached an age where not only does he question me at every turn, he actually out-argues me 90% of the time and I can’t do anything about it because technically he’s right and I’m wrong. FML
Today, I took a legitimate IQ test and got a score of 80. My parents both have IQ scores above Einstein’s. FML
Today, my youngest was recognized as a genius. My older two are now upset because they don’t think it’s fair and my husband is moaning because he thinks we’re now going to be stuck raising Sheldon Cooper. FML
Today, my husband, who is proud of his 155 IQ, is depressed our son is becoming a typical football jock with an IQ only just into the triple digits. He even thinks I must have had an affair, because no way could someone as smart as him have produced such a blockhead with tattoos. FML
Today, I took an online IQ test, even though I knew they give everyone unrealistically high scores. My score was 73. FML
Today, my dad took my son out of his will, so I confronted him. Turns out he has a new policy of “not rewarding dumb behaviour.” He’s willing to put him back in the will, if he ever scores over 120 on an IQ test. I love my son, but he’s a happy goldfish, 120 is just never happening. FML
Today, my mom was taking an online IQ test. To the question "On which continent is Canada located?" she responded "Antarctica." If intelligence is genetic, I'm screwed. FML
Today, I discovered that apparently my six-year-old daughter actually believes that the United States is the only country with advanced technology. FML
Today, my daughter's quirkiness and eccentricities may have gone to a whole new level when her school faculty described her as "no stranger to LSD". She's 5. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Being a genius isn't everything it's cracked up to be she'll have a lot of issues with ostracization and alienation especially from teachers and peers you may want to look into getting her into a school that specializes in high intelligence children, it'll be better for her in the long run. 😊

Why would you FEAR that your daughter would be smarter, this way she might be able to do something amazing with her life instead of complaining that her daughter is smarter than her

You do realize that IQ tests are BS right?

In the beginning they were created to discover the kids who were actually below average. Even if it's not always accurate they're at least relevant and should lead to further investigations. Some kids have special needs related to that.

I suspect she wins because neither of you know how to be parents...

If you and your wife are both dumber than your daughter, a DNA test might be more relevant than an IQ test.

That's not true. I'm smarter than both my parents, all my siblings, and my extended family put together, and I look exactly how I should - half dad, half mom. And yes, I am bragging.

My cousin is 6’10 and his mom is 5’5 - she started using the phrase when they realized he was going to be a tall one: you may be taller than me but I am still your mother you still have to listen to me. Might want to start that now with your kid- I am still your parent you have to listen to me.

Good problems to have in life

According to my psychology teacher, IQ tests have many biases to them, and are tailored towards middle aged white men, and isn’t actually a great way to major IQ usually.

You fear that your child is intelligent? That's just sad...

Are you seriously complaining that you have a smart child? Wow.
