Actually, if you've got infant twins they have an older sibling who's still pretty young, or if you have triplets or more, you could really use the help for the first year or so. Hire someone or see how much family and friends are willing to do to help. (I know one woman with quadruplets; her sister is practically living there to help out with the kids. And she had them before her first child's second birthday, so that's a lot of kids in a very short period of time.)
If it's just one kid, then after the first year or so, it's not that bad. If it's twins, that can get a little rough. I've talked to a number of mothers who had twins and then later had just one, and after you've dealt with twins, handling a single infant is a breeze by comparison.
(And if you're working and you have twins or more, it's more cost-effective to hire a nanny than to put them all in daycare, at least for the first couple of years.)

p.s. I'm wondering how many kids Mike Lee has, because it gets more interesting the more you have
I sincerely \*hope*\ that the answer is zero, and also that he is single, otherwise I feel very sorry for some poor unfortunate woman and some innocent children . . .
