Confused Why would anyone choose to bring a yorkie into their unstable home?

I've been reading some threads about someone who wants to get (or maybe has already gotten) a 6 week old yorkie, and is clearly not prepared, nor informed about the breed.
Points to consider:
1. Read the comments from the knowledgeable yorkie owners here on YT. Everyone wants to help...we all love dogs, especially yorkies. No one is going to intentionally mislead you.
2. If you have to leave a newborn alone while you work, don't get him/her. There will be a better time.
3. If you are overly concerned about the cost of a petsitter, don't get him/her. Yorkies are very expensive to upkeep. The only thing that is cheap is their food, because it lasts a long time. (The food that most of the members here use is top quality and expensive, but will last a while since our babies are so little.)
4. What if your baby has something like CT or LP, and requires several vet visits, emergency hospital visits, and expensive medication. If you are concerned about a petsitter, will you be able to take care of the monetary needs of their health care?????
5. Why get a dog if you are not ready?
Just wondering...
