I’m currently raising a child who is, age adjusted, considerably smarter than myself. It’s challenging but fun. The danger for me isn’t my resenting his intelligence, it’s taking too much pride in it.
Just from his occasional post on LW, and your occasional mention of him, Alex reminds me of a real life version of Harry from HPMoR. :)
Edit: to avoid the possibility of future confusion, I’d like to emphasize that I meant this in an entirely positive way.

Smarter than you are is one thing, smarter than any previous person is another.
