Every child needs and deserves parents who are as ready as possible for parenthood.
Every child needs and deserves parents who are willing to make sacrifices and invest the time it takes just to raise a reasonable healthy, well-adjusted child, let alone a child who must cope with what nature has foisted upon his or her tiny genetic code.

Your lifestyle choices are your own, far be if from me to tell you what I think of them. But I can share with you that very little of what you chose to reveal about your life would make you a good parent.
So enjoy your wife, your cozy life, your 10,000-song i-pod. But please do not waste another minute pondering parenthood for you and your wife.
