Personally, I think it's too many.
However, I can't see how you would call them socially stunted. As far as I can see, Dad and Mom are just not the regular kind of parents you people want them to be. Which doesn't make it wrong, just besides the norm.
The kids get enough face-time with a parent... TotalMILF just proved that with the dictionary excerpt: "A person who brings up and cares for another". They have that in their older siblings. With the added possibility of still talking to the real mother and father too.
It's not quite what you're used to. It's definitly not for everybody (organisation is everything, I know I couldn't do it). But I dare say they're probably more socially skilled than alot of people I see every day.
As far as the homeschooling goes, just let the oldest couple take a few standardised tests before you all go rolling your eyes about it.
Open mind and willingness to empathise seems to go right out the window for things that don't suit some people here.
