  Well, there goes that kid's chances of leading a normal child's life...

  Nah....

  But she couldn't concentrate tonight at all, so I decided to let her OTOT figure things out after tonight's session instead, through homework.

  Of course she couldn't concentrate...turned out she had one full day of I dunno what tutoring for english, maths, etc etc.

  And its holiday now.

  I remember reading about this pregnant woman who thought that putting headphones to her tummy and playing classical music would give her baby a headstart in life....

  In the end, the baby was born deaf..... because the woman played the music so loudly that it permanently damaged the baby's eardrums.

  Nice headstart.

  I remember reading it in the papers a few years ago.... I never forgot it as a case of idiotic parenting.

  Will try to find the article online if I can.

  my mom didn't eat enough and I was born underweight and malnourished and had to be in hospital for 2 weeks.
