So far, we haven't tried to have one because we just can't afford to have a child and there were some other general issues.

Another Clueless Dumbass
We were visiting my DH's cousin (a much older woman). She was a lovely person but had terrible health problems--weight issues, RA--couldn't go up and down her own stairs anymore, could barely manage to cook and couldn't make a bed. He suggested we go out one evening while we were there visiting and have her watch our toddler. I said, are you insane? He did not see the big problem. I had no problem with CIL's personality in any way, but her physical limitations I knew would prevent her watching a toddler!
DH mentioned it to CIL anyway and she responded, "Are you insane?"

This type of thinking is actually quite common. Just off the top of my head I can think of two different couples who went out and got knocked up immediately after one of their parents was diagnosed with cancer. Neither one of them was what I could consider financially stable, either.
