Congratulations on becoming a MOM. Never forget the old saying, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”.
When your daughter becomes of age for higher learning, a good idea is make sure she has learned something else beside a college education, a vocation of some kind. My Mom made sure we all learned to work with our hands, then
encouraged us to higher learning....we paid for it. Some of my brothers were stevedores, Mom didn’t pay a penny. We girls worked in canneries, stores, some of the boys and some of us girls joined the military. There are ways to get an education, if you have the “real” desire to learn what you’ve wanted to do with the rest of life besides floating a government loan. LOL, we’ve all retired and learning other stuff, like weaving and beading, a couple of brothers are furniture refinishers. Life if fun.

Oh she will, she will inherit several pieces of farmland that have been in my family for 4 generations already, and will learn to farm it as well as how to manage it if she decides to rent it out which is what I have done. That will be her primary vocation as it is her legacy, whatever else she decides is just additional. And I had to work my way through school rather than get loans.
