That’s quite a lot.
We have 13 children. The toughest thing is putting them all through college. Anyway, we just celebrated our youngest daughter’s 30th birthday a couple of days ago, so that’s done.
Also we now have 19 grandchildren. But not a single great-grandchild. They just aren’t doing their jobs.
It’s not hard putting them through college if your income and savings are so low that they get government grants for everything.
Ours go to community college. If they don’t join the military (2 of 5 so far, with the 5th on the verge), they have enough savings to pay for a couple of years at the local state university.
I came from a family of 10 kids. My parents could not afford to do ANY college. For those of us who did go to college we paid for it ourselves.
It was much easier before the Feds got involved. My first stint at the University of Texas was $45 per hour. I left college with no debt.

My husband is one of nine, like in your family the youngest sibling is 30. There are 37 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren so far.
A couple of years ago they had a Thanksgiving celebration to which everyone came, even from out of state. There were around 70 people there. So thankful that everyone was able to make it as it was probably the last time.
