A lot of them are rejecting the whole hypercompetitiveness of traditional schools in favor of relaxed "child-led" learning. In my area, the Ivy League obsession begins before the kids are out of Pull-Ups. What ever happened to letting kids be kids????

We drive into civilization once in a while to stock up on stuff and see how the other half lives. :) Other than "the" grocery store, I didn't tread on their territory. I lived there for 25 years and fortunately didn't sucumb to Alpha-ness. When I read one of those articles about the Alpha moms, I saw that about the debrifing with the husband. If it was a, um, bedroom thing, then no problem. But it sounded soo business like. Creepy. I picked up a parenting mag in Richmond, one of those freebie things. I had to have something to read while son and hubby shopped for new pants. To my horror, I learned of ANOTHER type of mom....the Total Mom! Lol. This one has 7 kids and homeschools them. (she's also a "lifestyle expert" and a "television personality"!)She'll be writing a monthly parenting column for the mag. In the intro, it said that she kicks toys and stuff under the sofa. Her way of cleaning. My thoughts on that: She's a poser. A Total Mom would have a bin for each toy, arranged alphabetically along with when and where bought and how much it cost. I'm more likely to shove things under beds and sofas. Or, this Total Mom hasn't taught her kids to pick up their own damned toys. I think she's a poser.

Fracas, we'll let the Alpha part of you be in charge of refreshments. Now I'm thinking we need a virtual block party sometime. JerseyGirl- I refuse to consider what debriefing a husband involves. TMI and all that. Someone had to explain MILF to me as well. Tracey- this is a link toyour blog- post there, spread the love!
