Why do poor people have kids?

Someone I know rents out his basement to a poor spanish couple. Really nice people and hard working, but they just got married a year ago and now she's pregnant.
They have like no money, and now my friend is selling his house, so they have to find a new place in 2 months, with her being pregnant.
And they have a small dog too, and they will only look at apts that allow dogs, they wont consider giving the dog away.

And I was watching that new show "30 Days" with Morgan Spurlock where he has to spend 30 days oliving on minimum wage and he works with this guy who takes home $50 a day working, and has 4 kids!!
Why the fuck would people on min wage living paycheck to paycheck go having kids?

Wouldnt it make more sense to have a solid job first and save some money and THEN have kids?
I dont get people's thinking. Why the fuck do people create situations for themselves where they're struggling to get by?
