LOL, no5no5! I really like the terms "helicopter unschooler" and "lazy-day-at-the-beach unschooler." Nice! laugh I can totally understand why you don't like being lumped in with that style of unschooling.

It's also why I find myself resisting labels now that we've got our "sea legs." Labels can be very useful tools under the right circumstances (like in schools) for getting kids services that they need. But in homeschooling? Labels virtually never seem useful to me. They seem to be used only to do the kind of judging you're not doing, or even to actively exclude others who "aren't doing it right." I don't see how labels help anyone. There may be a case, but I haven't seen one myself.
