There are lots of mothers with demanding full-time jobs (includng my wife, a physician) who spend this much time or more either teaching their children themselves after school or chauffering them to lessons. The Tiger Mother herself is a Yale law professor.

Find me one with a 90-hour work week who is ever home when her child is awake and I'll shake her hand.
