1. When we were first married we were never home.
2. When we started having children I was busy with babies, and always on the go.
Now that my children are getting older they are becoming more independent. I am now a stay-at-home/homeschooling mom and are looking at getting a Yorkie this year. I have been doing tons of research, this is how I found this site (which I am now addicted too!  ).
Anyway, I feel if you are not going to have time for a pet wait until you do. If you can be a stay-at-home mom when you have babies and can raise two at a time (fur-baby and skin-baby), then go for it!
This is just my opinion of course.
I love TY and am looking forward to finally getting my Yorkie!

Sounds like you've done your homework and having human babies is hard work and as much as one would like to think raising a baby and animals together it's hard and especially if you have to work on top of that. In "MY" opinion human babies should always come first then when you get to the point of being able to handle a child and an animal then maybe look into getting an animal. But I prefer yorkies and animals to children LOL now that I'm older and raised my daughter. I love my grandbaby with all my heart and soul but she's harder work than my yorkies LOL.
You have the right idea and sounds like you had your priorities in order
