There was an article today in one of the newspapers asking if being parents made people happy (sorry in Norwegian, and the title literally means ‘Crushers of Happiness’). Basically, it was a bunch of studies asking people if they felt they were happier after having kids. My wife and I have been having this discussion about life with our two boys, and it always ends with the statement – “But I’m soooo appy”. Happiness is relative, like all things in life. Hand on my heart, I am a happy fellow, content with my lot in life at the moment. At the moment is the key term here, since it is all about to end.
