Citation needed. I have read several studies about which factors improve quality of life. I cannot remember a single one that had "children" in the list of factors that significantly improve happiness.

Parents with grown-up children report being happier than those without children (but those with younger children are the least happy).
- TekMol 7y agoFirst paragraph: Parents often say their children bring them joy but most research suggests kids cause financial worry, stress and anxiety. Second paragraph: However, the latest research suggests children do actually make people happier – but only once they’ve left home. That is in line with what most studies come up with as one of the central aspects of a happy life: Having friends. I would think that kids kinda fall in that category after they left home.
