Why am I broody when this report shows that "Sociologists are discovering that children may not make parents happier and that childless adults, contrary to popular stereotypes, may often be more contented than people with kids."

Don't you just love sociology?

I love kids but the older I get, the more relief I feel not to have the responsibility for shaping another human life.

Depends a bit I think on whether the childlessness was a choice or not. And on money. I think you'll find people with children who have low money stress are happier than people without children who are financially stressed.

That's a good point. People who can afford for one of the partners to work part-time should be a lot less stressed than couples where both partners have to work fulltime. Or single parents.
