I really don't understand when you say that your parents won't let you go ... ? Do you mean that you need their financial support to get there?
My sister is in a similar situation as your girl friend with 4 children and it is deeply frowned upon that she has a man there taking up the time that she should be spending with her children. She chose to have them so it's up to her to bring them up!
I doubt very much that your relationship would last as it's hard enough with 2 people but you have 5 people to consider and as the kids aren't yours you will resent all your wages being spent on clothes, shoes, entertainment, etc for them. I only have one child and they are a VERY expensive item!!!
I think your parents are only trying to protect you and save you learning the hard way.
It's up to you - but if it's meant to be, she'll still be your girlfriend in 10 years time when the children are old enough to understand.
Is it normal for my parents to act like this?
