I'm 31 and I want a child desperately with my wife, however, we just aren't financially stable enough to have a child and responsibly take care of them.

27 and neither am I, but I did it. My wife and I will have student loans for the next 10 years. I am not willing to wait that long. I've also heard you're never really ready, so we just dove in.

Are you and your wife the same age? Just stick to your guns a couple years, and you'll be in a good enough position to pop one out.

If I'm in a loving relationship with someone I truly love, and I'm in the right financial position, okay. One kid would be okay. Maybe two. I don't see the big deal. I'd be careful to lay down my expectations, but not be disappointed if they fuck up, and don't meet that. This is why parents flip out, and get disappointed. They expect their kids to be better than them. Just let that shit roll. It's not your fault if things don't go as planned.
