	til now, and even then it was slow: http://www.newsweek.com/id/143792?GT1=43002 So the research now is showing that parents have lower reported levels of happiness than those who are (assuming voluntarily) childless, although parents do report deeper levels of meaning and purpose to their lives. Talk amongst yourselves...

Depends on whether or not you wanted 'em when you got 'em. peterelkon New

Having a family has made me happier...2 boys, 2 girls, 2 border collies and a good wife of 34 years. Linwood New

Did the wife have any dificulties giving birth to the border collies? <NT> GCA_Steve New

No, but nursing them in a cardboard box got on her nerves. <NT> Linwood New

Well according to this genius article, you're lying when you say that snowwrestler New

a survey of newsweek readers vs. an academic survey of 10,000 + RUwet New

There you go, you've got it snowwrestler New

I don't know how I would ever live if nobody was there to tell me what I wanted or didn't want:) RUwet New

Those dolls are worth a lot of money! GRITS New

Duh, yes. Do you know how it has been since I've had to get up in the middle of a movie to get myself a beer. <NT> Louie New

It's asinine to think that having kids or not having kids is somehow going to determine one's happiness TheBroncoKid New

Same here. Here's how I looked at it. GRITS New

Oh, and I meant to add, I haven't heard one appealing thing about being pregnant or giving birth. GRITS New

Having kids made me happy. Raising them however... b6 New

both wifes in my case. <NT> Louie New

I love having a family.  Can't imagine life without them. <NT> AaronK New

Me too... but only when they're asleep <NT> decker New

I sounds like the study`s questionnaire only asked about depression and mental health. A little one sided?! rbowman New

I wouldn't call it onesided.  How else would you measure it?  Parents and nonparents can both be depressed. <NT> RUwet New

So you don`t think researchers can steer a study by the types of questions they ask?..... rbowman New

Whoa there big guy, he was just pointing out that if you want to measure happiness, usually you will ask about stuff GRITS New
