Under capitalism life is a Russian roulette and having a kid is just throwing dice on wether they will have a good life or not, and you need to take jobs that you don't want to do when times are tough and are always tired from work and coming back home to have to take care of them. Sounds like a nightmare. The worst part is the uncertainty of "will my family survive if I get laid off", not worth it.

My sister and her husband together make enough money in a month to pay my rent for half a year and they barely have anything to spend due to having to raise & provide for four kids on top of themselves.

Like they aren't financially unstable exactly but it wouldn't take much to push them into that situation.
