Heh. I have a family of 13. The kids can get generic AA degrees at the local community college, because that is only $80 per credit hour and they don't need dorms or dining plans.
Scholarships do not exist for normal kids.
- angersock 8y agoWhy'd you have so many kids? No cable? :P
- amreact 8y agoYou may not have intended to come across this way, but I have heard comments similar to yours made to my parents (I have quite a few siblings) and they are offensive. Think about what it: you're asking about someone's love life. It is no business of yours. So if you're going to ask a question like that, please be respectful. For example, say "If you don't mind my asking, why did you have so many kids?"
- souprock 8y agoI'm not really sure. Many reasons seem to contribute to it. My wife is hard-core Catholic. Her uncle fell apart mentally after losing his only daughter, so having extras is sort of a backup plan. Kids can be fun. Having kids is pretty much the meaning of life.
- angersock 8y agoHa, awesome! Kids are super neat--it's just interesting seeing if that was from marrying into additional kids (have seen this with second and third marriage couples) or if they come from the marriage directly.
- w0m 8y ago> Scholarships do not exist for normal kids Honestly, this sounds harsh but in the US, if the scholarships don't exist (and are needed) then maybe those kids shouldn't go to (that? or any?) college. There is a perception that everyone needs to go to college that we clearly have to quash. There is nothing dishonorable or lowly about being a tradesma, the 'need to go to college' stigma needs to die.
