[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP here-- I don't think trophy wife is her plan nor is marrying for money.  I would be happy with whomever she married as long as he respects her and treats her well.  He could be a dr, lawyer, car mechanic, or plumber.

To a certain extent, I would rather give her the 4 yr college money for a down payment on a house.  Her dream is a family, not a career.  Like all parents I want to support her dreams.  I do realize however that most jobs today require some sort of college degree.  Even if it's not used in the job, the degree is a check box that needs to be met to have a job.  Hence I think the CC option plus transfer will get her the check box.
