I'm familiar with all the arguments
but the fact is I'm a horrible impatient bastard.

people often tell me I'd be a good dad. to me this just means they don't know me well at all.

But when you actually have kids
you'll be surprised. When I was an au pair I actually found it really good fun.

I wouldn't want to have kids on the basis that I might be surprised at how well I deal with it
on a more practical note, even if we were to have them, we couldn't afford them any time soon. My mortgage is fucking enormous and I don't have enough cash for my liking anyway.

I'd rather not have them than bring them into a household where we can't afford to do anything because of them. That's a shitty recipe for resentment.
