I don't think that she meant it in the matter in which you are interpreting it... but I cannot speak for her. I think she just meant that she has high expectations for her child, as any parent would. I have a 14 yr old , two 10 1/2 year old, and two 8 year old children, and I expect all of them to excel, nomatter what age they are at. I think you are reading too much into her statment.
