Parents with two children are happier. Third child often brings less happiness: Study

Many individuals and institutions in the past have attempted to find out what makes a family happy. A new study is making yet another attempt to uncover the secret to a blissful home life.

Because of the growing expense and the limiting of time, many families have come to believe that having a single child is best, and that this would make them happier. However, a new study has shown that this is not the case and that having two children is better than having just one.

A study from the London School of Economics and the Western University suggests that the number of children in a family has a direct link to the family's overall happiness.
