[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thought to what the kids wants?  [/quote]

She has already announced that her goal is to be a SAHM and have 4 kids.  She strongly dislikes school and studying but college is whatever is "supposed" to do so she feels there is pressure to conform.  She was on the CC plan until DH mentioned the option of a 4 yr school.

As far as her ability to function on day to day things-- she does her own laundry, can make her own meals, pack her lunch, and get herself to school on time.  But given the choice between cleaning the gutters and school work, gutters win.  She has very poor time management skills and still requires constant reminders from me and her teachers about assignments that are due.  [/quote]

With this additional info, it really doesn't sound like college is what she wants.  Instead of focusing on 2 year/vs 4 year, what about focusing on a job/training path that will allow her to be financially self-sufficent until Mr Right comes along (if he does).  Is there a type of work that she likes to do?  It sounds like she actually prefers work to studying, maybe you should focus on helping her get a job.  She could work for a year, and then she if there is any type of training or certificate she could get to help with more stability and more money.
