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?

Let's see ... of the three people I *really really know* that would undoubtedly be termed gifted ... #1 is a finance/money guy for a rich millionaire and is doing very very very well (on track to be wealthy), #2 is an engineer for Motorola (doing well, but not gonnna be WEALTHY ever), and #3, who is the most gifted of the three (scored a 35 on his ACT, missed, literally, 2 questions), is a college-dropout working for the facilities department of my university's Student Union.
Of the handful more from my graduating class that would have qualified for GT services, none of them are in high-powered, high-salaried jobs. Two are SAHMs. One is a research administrator, one is an Exercise Physiologist and one is an Air Force Colonel.
#1 is a hottie too ... and still single. Damn!
If it's the college that I am thinking of.....it's not an antisocial place by any stretch.

I wasn't realized that you were familiar with the private schools in my area and the criteria for admittance.

I did it all the time, even in a coed college.
