Our experience is similar to Portia's. One of us works from home, and the other of us works very close to home, which allows us jointly to homeschool the children, participate in a homeschool community with compatible parenting values (though we use it only rarely for its educational content), and adapt the children's schooling to their needs on a continuous basis.

So-called peer socialization is associated with our faith community and the children's athletic and artistic pursuits.

And I agree with HK that our NA culture highly over-values being normal (in the statistical sense). My objective is healthy, happy, and helping, whatever that looks like for each individual.
