oh come on.
From Blogging Baby, one of my new weblog subscriptions:
Good news for those who've decided not to have kids: The Washington Post is reporting the results of a study indicating that parents are more miserable than non-parents. The findings, published in last month's Journal of Health and Social Behavior, show that upon surveying 13,000 adults, parents are more likely to be depressed than those who don't have children….
Michael Lewis, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry and director of the Institute for the Study of Child Development at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, N.J., says that the idea of parenthood as pure joy “was always a bit of a wonderful myth.” He said he's surprised the study findings were not even more negative.
I'm sure I won't have that problem. Ahem.
