I agree that having a baby (two, actually) costs less than I feared, but you
left out one big item - child care.  I *only* py $95/week for this (for two
kids) but many people pay much more.  That's something the single mother who
initialed this conversation will have to consider, unless she's relying on
free child care from her family...
