There is a lot of research on this topic. I know later studies contradict earlier studies, but I'm not sure who to believe here. Wondering if anyone can help.
In case it isn't clear, the basic question is the effect of having children on happiness.
I don't have the citation to hand, but IIRC there's research suggesting higher variance among parents is the most significant effect.
Good to know, but does that research clarify whether happiness is overall higher or lower in the long run?
