Just yesterday - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/children-happiness-study-parents-stress-money-christoph-becker-at-heidelberg-university-a9068926.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/children-happines... Parents with grown-up children report being happier than those without children (but those with younger children are the least happy).

First 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.
