Do the scriptures somewhere mention that it's appropriate to go forth when having a wife & children?
According to the scriptures Gotama, the Buddha-to-be, left his palace & his parents to reach enlightenment, but leaving one's parents is quite different than leaving one's wife and his child.
Reference to scriptures is highly appreciated!
