    I haven’t read this study, but I’ve heard most people tend to be their happiest after their kids move out, and near retirement. You have more time to do the things you want, have more ‘extra’ cash than before, and are still in decent health. Obviously this is on average and varies by person.

      Maybe don’t have kids in the first place if they make you unhappy.

      Besides, if the kid had a say in it I doubt they would consent if they knew what kinda future they were heading into.

          Heres one thing ive found very impactful for my own happiness - stop giving a fuck what other people think/expect.

          That said, im only 33. Sounds like the worst is yet to come lol

      People have kids that can move out? And they have money for retirement? I’m guessing this isn’t in America…?

        My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.

        I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.
