I have kids and am happy about it, but I'll still add another argument in your favor because I think about it constantly: ageism in tech. You decide to have a family when you're in your 20s or 30s, getting promoted regularly, and everything seems honkey-dorey. Hit 40 and boom, you've got huge expenses in raising these kids but a very tenuous grip on your career, with best earning years perhaps behind you.
