I guess I'm still astounded at the attitude that surfaced at another thread implying that if they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have had children. Of course, I'm a lazy, selfish mom at home who isn't working while some of my kids are in school so maybe my opinion doesn't count. Maybe I SHOULD take up scrapbooking to make my existence more worthwhile! lol
In any case, it is an interesting question considering that, under that reasoning, Oprah Winfrey shouldn't have been born. Give me time and I can come up with a whole list of highly successful and respected people who have impacted us in positive ways that wouldn't have been born had their parents decided that because they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have children.
How has the college issue influenced your decision to have children, if at all? Do you think it is an important criteria in the decision?

I completley agree with you. I would certainley never physically control my children. I do try to stay in control of their behavior their actions and their consequence, otherwise I would be living in chaos.
My nieces all did semesters abroad while in college, and the 2 who've graduated did go to Europe after graduation. But have it your way, I'm not going to argue.
I am a substitute teacher, not a lady of leisure.
Gee, that was a hard one to figure out.
Good effort though in trying to trip me up. Try again.
Have you always had this much difficulty with reading comprehension?
