Somehow I never thought of single parents as "living alone" as this article does.. You don't have an adult partner, but you definitely don't live alone! theatlantic.com/family/archive

@irina i did not interpret that article as being about single parents!

@Satsuma It didn't seem to be, but one of the things it mentioned as being more expensive/more of a hassle for single people was "childcare" and later "daycare". Why would you need that if you're just a single person living alone?

@irina oh i completely missed that section — the only reference to kids i saw was the study that reported married workers with kids were more likely to get raises than people living alone, because managers assumed that people with kids would have additional expenses
