I understand that, but if most people wait until they feel that can afford a child, they will never do it. They change you from the moment you hold them and they look at you with their big eyes. You become less selfish and love something more than anything else. You will be ok, it is natural to feel that way and worry because you want to be a good provider and really college and weddings are a long way away. All they really need is your love and some basic necessities. Craigslist, freecycle and places like that always seem to have baby items people are giving away or selling cheaply so you can try those for starters.

First of all I wanna congrats you! God won't give you problems that you can't handle it. Your lucky and God bless cause not all people were given a child and that will fullfillment being a family. Babies are angels! Money can't buy happiness. I 'm praying that will have even one child. But because of the economic crisis we don't care about it just to make us fullfilled and have our own.That's the only thing we luck being a family. She was delayed for 1 mo. but because of life is hard my wife looked for a job and she found a job just to make all ends meet. She doesn't care of the problems we will encounter just to have the baby. But she had a miscariage feeling bad about it. Still were hoping to have one. Congrats! Have a nice day! God bless! God will look for a way!

its hard to have a big responsibilities specially when it comes to parenting,yeah you are right that at first you are happy and you are sad because of the economic situation.i understand what you feel coz all of the men when they get married and have their own son will fell the same what you feel but the difference is how we handle the situation like what you've said that there is an economic crisis as of now that's why most of the people is affected in their daily lives specially with their financial needs,what imporatnt is you can be a good provider and do all your best specially to your responsibilty as a father,it's hard to have a son or daughter who does'nt recognize your fatherhood what i mean is they are not close to you.the important is the relationship with your wife and kids even though there is the hardship but you will notice your happiness because your family is there for you and in that means you will forget your problems.money is not important although we need that but the most important in the family is to have a good relationship with them to have a happy family.by the way im still single and don't have family.
