Cooking for one person is just as much work as cooking for more than one person. If you make the same amount of food as you would for a family, you end up with too many leftovers. If you cook less, you end up having to cook every day just like people with kids probably do. I don't see the difference. You also have to clean your house all the time -- I can't believe anyone would think that single people don't have to clean their houses. I have cats, and believe me, I have to clean just as often, if not more often, than people with kids, otherwise I'd have cat litter crumbs and fur all over everything. There's just as much dust in my house as there is in the house of someone with kids. Believe me, I've been in the homes of people who don't clean, and it's not something that I find acceptable.
You also seem to be assuming that people without kids have no hobbies, interests or responsibilities outside of work. We don't all just have free time because we're not driving kids around all afternoon. Some of us are in school, or do volunteer work, or are writing novels, or are doing tons of things all at once. It's not like there's a huge void in someone's life because there are no children in it.
