DH and I are 26. Been together 8 years, married for 1. Both good jobs, happy in our lives, etc etc, and think right now good time to start TTC. I mentioned this to my mum a couple of days ago and her jaw drops and she says "but you don't have a mortgage yet". We both have good jobs - mine would give me 90% pay for all of my maternity leave and we have a deposit saved up, but our rented flat is lovely, and all of the properties we have viewed to buy are horrible. Mum seems to think if we have a baby now we'll never get on the property ladder, but we will and i think there are more important things. Is it really so terrible to procreate first?
