This was something Oprah was talking about yesterday. They actually had some studies that talked about parents being happier with kids, but I can't find any of that crap so.
I think that some parents are happier when they have kids, but some parents aren't. Raising kids costs a lot of money, and I don't think many parents are too happy with their kids in there infant/toddler stages. I think parents get more happier with their kids when they start learning how to take care of themselves. And especially when they turn 18 lol.
What do you guys think?

It depends. Some people want kids, some people don't. Some people shouldn't have kids.
I think you get my point.

I think people can really be happier with kids! it brings much more love in the family, I mean that "thing" that came out of you has half of your loved one's personality and looks and half yours! I can imagine that there must be this uncontrollable love towards it, and if any of you have ever been in love you'll realize that it's worse than being high lol. You're just happy all the time and the simplest things become so fun.
I think it's possible, but people who are happy enough with their couples shouldn't need this. and of couse all the unplanned pregnancies with all the excedingly high costs to pay for that new life that you HAVE to take care of that u didn't even want....
yeah having a baby can be the greatest thing that's happened to you as well as the worse

I think it depends on the person - whether you want kids or not.
If you want that family and you want to have a kid or multiple kids...then I could see how it could make you happier.
But then if you don't want children, if you view them as a mistake...then it definitely won't make you happier to have any. XD
Personally, I want at least one kid, but no more then 3. I look at parenting as a challenge, but one of the most important challenges I could have in my life. I have no doubt in my mind that it would make me beyond happy to have children one day.

I loveee cats.
I've always always always had cats in my life. I was so sad last year cause the cat we'd had since I was a year old died. :/ He was the same age as me. I cried. XD
Then I got my new cat Leeloo last June. He's my baby right now. :3
