Call me selfish, but this is part of the reason I'm not very keen on having kids. Theres other reasons too, but this isnt the right thread for it. Seems to upset most girls though
I would never call anyone selfish. I actually think the opposite, if you KNOW that kids aren't for you then don't do it. Kids do better when you want them
I wouldn't have it any other way. We have so much fun with our kids. We have chosen the hard way to do things but are on our way to living very etraordinary lives (we already have TBH).
We started off with no property to leverage (well we actually started when the FHBG was pretty huge and had parents as guaruntors) but after a couple of houses we sold everything and travelled with the babes for 6 months. I loved it but we have had to start from scratch and that has been hard.
To get back into the market we sold our caravan and fancy 4wd and moved back in with parents. That was tough. BUT we have clawed our way back up and are sitting well as it stands.
