Should I have kids with a guy who isn't financially ready?

Anonymous

we aren't married. we aren't in a romantic relationship. we both just wanted to have kids. we are both 30 years old and employed. I am gainfully employed while he isn't. He has a job but barely makes enough to provide for himself. I have spoken to a few people about this and they are all telling me that someone like him won't have anything to contribute. after the baby is born, I will likely be the one working full time financially providing for my baby AND also doing most of the work raising the child. While he will just be a part time parent while working his low paying job full time- contribute little to nothing financially. They all say that men don't want to be parents as their " main" role especially for a man that isn't married to me. Its always the woman who takes on the burden of being the "main" full time parent.

is this true?
