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?

These women didn't WOH when their kids were little, but they didn't have refrigerators, dishwashers, disposals, automatic washers, or even cars. But they agreed they wouldn't have tried to WOH without someone to come in days.

Communication is the prevention of disaster not avoidance? Then you might want to try honest communication with your kids and not lying to them about the existance of magic telescopes.
BTW, small wonder you're trying to suggest home buyers should ignore quality of local schools when buying home properties; you have a vested interest in ensuring they do. You lose sales when buyers are informed and savvy about their home purchases.
The fact that people are buying homes everyday in areas that have poor/mediocre school districts has really little to do with me.
ah yes, much easier to attack than own up to the real reason why you homeschool...i commend what you do as homeschool is something i could never do. that's just me, i know my limitations..but not one tone from you about homeschool M2F is positive or elated imo. instead, it comes across very heavy and criticism targeted to everyone else.
and tbh, that's the jist many of us get from homeschoolers in general too.
I think you missed a few posts in this thread if you think my goal is to attack other forms of education that aren't HS.I have said repeatedly that hs isn't for everyone and ps offers a good education for many children. Once again, if I felt that ps was such a bad place, I certainly wouldn't put my daughter in public school.
Maybe I am just a bit more direct than you with your passive aggressive little remarks about my reasons for hs. Whatever.
