studies confirm that kids ruin your life at least that was a survey that was done
by gallup
and it was actually to me later I'm in conjunction with my mom I
from so I there were there were two major surveys Bob done by gallup
and it both it people have to do the same thing how do couples with children
but feel in comparison to couples that do not have children
so the first study focused specifically on Americans
the second study focused of on the global scale out what people
other countries feel I and here's what they found we find in terms of life
evaluation people with kids and people without kids are not very different but
people with kids have more joys and happiness
as well as more negative emotions like anger
worry and stress now the reason why I'm
this study is actually pretty good
is because they didn't asked like how do your children make you feel
because oftentimes when you do that a lot of times parents will justify
their reasons for having kids by pretending as if they're totally happy
and everything's great but they just
asked in general like what here some emotions how often do you feel this
emotion how often do you feel that emotion and of course there are positive
and negative emotions in the survey %uh so
basically look overall they have the same who level of happiness
or the report the same level of happiness however those with children
experience negative emotions much more often it's more roller coaster
yeah it my gestures yeah know a role I know each other a little bit more like
this
I about got a boob job I a study also this week interestingly I came out
in phnom by the Open University
in and the UK believe study five thousand people
Valley gay couples are likely to be happier and more positive
about their relationships then heterosexuals in
5,000 people the gays cum and as happier up
it found that simple things like making a cuppa tea in the morning
taking it to them with the most treasured by couples examples intimacy
rather than dramatic gestures such as declaring
I love you a heterosexual parents
Bob other group least likely to be there for each other
to make couple time to pursue shared interests say I love you
and to talk openly to one another so the findings in the study are super
summer yeah that heterosexual parents are the worst
fucking hate recycled some
but but the gay couples LBG cue lesbian gay bisexual and queer
to this in this article or more generally positive about it happier with
the quality the relationship
and the relationship they have with their partner so gate
without a kid that's the road to happiness are you a sexual with the kid
you're fucked alright let me write this yeah
no I mean it is really interesting to see how people do
after they have children because I think a lot of times especially the culture
that we live in today
there so much emphasis on procreating have children wearing it when you get
married
oh you got mad when you have kids right there's like this pressure the people
feel all the time
and a lot of times people just kinda go about the motions without really
considering whether or not having a child is something that they want to do
right up so I i'm like that studies like this might
allow people to take a step back and really reconsider whether or not having
a child makes sense for them
now we talked about what happens in the United States let's talk about what
happens are globally
according to Gallup our results for the world as a whole as well as for Africa
Latin America
the Middle East and South Asia are consistent with the most common finding
in literature that those with children have lower life
valuations okay the authors of the report by the UK's
Open University the default notices that the same report really really different
different takes on the same report they say they looked at numerous factors that
make relationships happy the survey 5,000
came to the conclusion that childless married and una mary participants are
happier with their relationship
and their partner then parents gap a
no question if you don't you're not apparently more likely be happier and
then so
right after that line the study about a by the economic science research gallup
found the couples without children are generally likely to be happier that
parents the next sentence
in addition it says mothers where the least likely group to be satisfied with
their partners
so you get to be a mother and then year you know we are more likely to be
complaining about here life in your kids and
pretty much every know how stressful it is when you first have a baby right
I mean you have this innocent you know
defenseless little human being that you have to take a row
what she and the baby pack at okay so I towards target
mom and then OK for finally like you raise the child to the point where he or
she can go to school and get a little bit of a breather
but then come the teen years and I i imagine that's probably the most
stressful where the rebelling
I was a terrible teenager I put my mom through hell I wanna go through that
and I remember when I was a teenager my mom would always tell me like I can't
wait until you have a daughter your age one day
and then like I would always think in my head like I got to prevent that from
happening yeah
you know right so I'm glad to be so you think they're standing do with white
do with it what you want to do with that
