[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every family is different and that is OK.  We have catholic friends with 12 children - to them the gift is life and they have told the kids that they are on their own at age 18, meaning no college or community college or whatever they can hardscrabble together.  And they will do fine.  In my family, getting a four-year degree for women was paramount (everyone had been depression era children and women unfavored).  It is what it is.[/quote]

[b]My husband did the military as his parents couldn't afford college and it wasn't an option.  Given he didn't get his degree till his early 40's and then the second career too another 10-15 years to earn anything, I don't get why you'd do that to your kids if you can afford to pay.  People make it sound easy and its not.[/quote][/b]

You missed the point entirely in your rush to judge.  If you have twelve kids you cannot send them all to college at now $93K a year for private[/quote]

It’s fine to judge the utter selfishness that is having 12 kids. [/quote]
