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?

Thank you! LOL....I think my autobiography would be pretty boring, but I enjoy penning fiction when I have the chance.

I don't think Latin is a "be all, end all" language either. But I think it's very important, given the range of other languages for which it acts as a bridge. All languages? Nope. But many relevant foreign languages, nevertheless. I don't believe I've posted anything that suggested Japanese or Chinese is a frivolous offering; I think they, too, have a place in the school system. Not, however, to the exclusion of Latin.
BTW, I agree that in today's world, particularly in the US, Spanish is an ever increasingly important language and begins to border on necessary. Doubt we'll ever see it in our lifetime, given the swooning that goes on any time anyone suggests Americans would be well served by knowing at least one other language well enough to converse generally.

Totally agree.
