A 2 year old and 17 month old twins. First she accomplished *that* through two surrogates! Wonderful what modern medicine can do.
Anyway, she doesnt work full time, she consults to several companies so is out of the home one full day then a few hours a day on other days. Sometimes for work, sometimes to go to the gym, etc.
She has a full time live in nanny, and two part time nannies. Essentially they always have someone with them and the kids. She feels she needs two to properly care for her three.
I immediately thought of all the comments her lifestyle would elicit from this board.
The day she and I met she had just come from a 2 hour session at the gym, and was then heading off to go do some shopping.
BTW, she's a complete rock star in industry, having 'retired' a year ago after a 30 year career that took her right up to the top of corporate America so she's definetly *earned* her right to do whatever the heck she wants.
But anyway, she feels she is a super hands on mom. I was curious what others would think?

I think that's disingenuous. The very act of removing the child from the traditional group setting is an unequivocal act. It's an informed choice. The HS'ing parent is saying the socialization of traditional school is not something the parent desires.
And I freely admit DH and I are sheltering our children by moving here and placing them in an arguably homogenous society where education is valued by parent and (usually) the child as a top priority.
Many parents shelter children in lots of different ways. The homeschooler does it in an undeniable way.

Ah....she was cured through the magic telescope thing, I had forgotten that.
