I think it is very responsible of you and your partner to consider your financial situation before having children. If you are ready now, then just go for it. From what I have learned over the past few months reading the parenting section..Even when you think your ready for a baby your not 100% sure because we never know what it's going to entail untill we live it. People should have babies because they WANT them! If you want to bring a child into this world and love them and show them a good life like what you said, then do it. God gave us the gift of creation for this exact reason.
I am very excited for you and your partner!!
Thats not to say after the act that a a baby isn't loved or that what is essentially a selfish act cannot become something that is totally selfless, the love and protection of a child.
It's simply a definition of terms, is it selfish, yes, is that wrong, in this case definately not.
As soon as the little one arrives though, selfishness is the last word you could use. Out and out pure selflessness is more like it.
As long as you think you can bring your child happiness and be a 'good parent' (this is open to interpretation and a completely different discussion) then go for it. Only you will know if you are ready. Anyone else's opinion shouldn't really matter but if it does, you'll be pulled left right and centre on how to bring the little one up.
At the end of the day - we are here to procreate and if now feels the right time for you to have a baby - then have one, if the child is brought up in a loving environment im sure it wouldn't mind having no say on the matter of being born - or even think about having a say !!
Its normal and natural to want children, whether its a same sex or not relationship. We all have parental instincts in us. I'd be a great dad, even now at 26, but I don't want any until Im 35(ish) - I need to devote my time into my accountancy career first and foremost before children.
