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?

Surely you realize that people have different things they value about where they live?
I love where I live so much that I do all sorts of crazy things to make it work. The quality of the local school system isn't unimportant but it doesn't trump a lot of other things I value. And once you've lived someplace for a while, the "change" factor comes into play. It doesn't always make sense to uproot and move to the better school district every few years.
Because for many the local public school system is but only one choice out of many?
