Does having kids make you happier? It's complicated:
Kids can bring happiness to their mothers and fathers, but parents need dough before they can delight in those expensive bundles of joy. Research on life satisfaction statistics largely show children don’t raise your level of happiness — and yet people still keep having kids, and then do it again. So a new study delved into the kid conundrum and took into account whether parents had problems paying their bills. Without adjusting for financial woes, children reduced happiness.
The study is another reminder how hard parents have it these days. Child care costs are rising all across America and exceed federal government recommendations that families shouldn’t spend more than 7% of their income on daycare. Meanwhile, just five states have paid family leave. A middle-income, married couple raising a child in 2015 spent 16% more than a family raising a child in 1960, according to a 2017 U.S. Department of Agriculture study on the cost to raise kids.
