I have a 10 year old Blue and Gold Macaw, a 2 yr old Sun Conure and 2 cockatiels , and while I would love to say don't give up your dreams of owning one , I honestly can't , they love to be part of the action and where the fun is and would be miserable locked in a room away from everything,my macaw's cage is in my livingroom, if we're doing stuff in another room he'll call out until someone comes to him. They're extremely social flock birds.
If your children are younger and can't be trusted to not poke fingers in cages , I would say to maybe wait until they are older.

I wouldn't give up completely but just put your dreams on hold? It's not impossible to do now though, but I would wait if you're feeling doubt.

Good luck

A bird I would suggest is a Lineolated Parakeet , I love them I always wanted one but have enough birds for now . But they're so cute ,and can learn to talk in cute tiny voices. If I ever got another bird it would be a Linnie hands down, I still think about getting one lol . Maybe.......someday...lol
