I would say - if you want to, then go for it!

If you love Children then of course

There are a few more important things to consider I believe. For example, do you both WANT a child? And that is a question that ought to be decided by you and your wife only, not with the input of strangers. Either you both want a child or you do not, regardless of your circumstances.

Do you want a child? You COULD have a child, you seem to meet some of the external criteria of being good parents, but this is all up to you. You need to soul search a bit and decide if it's what you want and are really ready for. Same with your wife. If you two are ready to take that major major step then and only then should you have a child.

If you have to ask.....probably not the right time. Just my thought.

Why in the world are you asking US? There are people in your life who are closely affected by this Q. Talk to THEM. Not meaning to be flip or mean - but . . . .
-
As long as the both of you can love, nurture, teach and want a child.

I would discuss this issue with your wife about it in great detail cause although you are financially stable and healthy, that doesn't mean the child will bring continuing bonding for you and your wife. I'm not saying having a child is bad, but when one doesn't know how to care for him/her, it can bring a burden to the marriage. Usually that is a small case to bare and many couples don't even think about that. If you ask me personally, I would highly recommend you have a child. Why? For the long run, you'll want to hand your assets, income or any type of property to your son/daughter. Another big thing I've came across is, both parent want a child but don't want to go through the "hassle" so they adopt one and yes, that is also an option in your case. I hope this helps.

I think the fact that you're asking this type of question where you are asking it makes me wonder whether you are ready for such a responsibility. You have to make a huge amount of decisions when you have children, and I don't know if looking for a general consensus on the right thing to do from complete strangers is a good way to handle it. It is a big decision and you will have the responsibility of the life of a helpless human being in your hands. You need to know the answer to this question yourself. Just as you will also need to know YOUR answers to the other questions that come along once the baby is born.

This is such a personal decision that it is hard to answer it with a yes or no. If you both love children and think that the relationship is stable enough to guarantee a stable and safe home for a child, then yes. If you or your wife feel emotionally or psychologically not ready yet, then wait until you are ready. You need to want the big responsibility also. A baby changes your whole life- you will have to give up many things you may enjoy as a childless couple. On the other hand, a child adds so much as well. The only thing I can say is that you both have to be 100% sure until you go ahead and have a child. I have two children and never regretted it.

G'day Anonymous, Thank you for your question. It sounds from the description that you would both make good parents. However, it really depends on how both you and your wife feel as you will be making a big commitment. I would discuss it with her and see how you both feel. Regards
