It's springtime, and all God's creatures are ready for mating, but psychobabble killjoys are warning: Don't have kids. They'll make you miserable, and you'll deserve taxation for environmental abuse.
On May 8, just as the songbirds were readying nests for their offspring, a Harvard professor tried to put a damper on the joys of human procreation by declaring that having children strips happiness from their parents. Professor Daniel Gilbert announced to the Happiness and its Causes conference in Sydney, Australia, that with each child the barometer of happiness plummets.

Typical PhD. I had one twenty years ago that said the exact same thing. He went on for about 40 minutes on how unhappy children made people, how he was so happy he had none, all of his friends secretly wished that they had never had children, and that every parent, if they were honest, would admit the same thing.
At the time I thought the guy was a real POS. Since then I’ve had two children and I KNOW he’s a POS. My children bring me great joy daily, like nothing else in my life.
I’m now 42 and I frankly regret not having had more children. And that’s the advice I will give any young couple.
I think libs hate children, because they all have their own Peter Pan syndrome and see the children as direct competition.
You're forgetting that they really do carry it to the extreme. They kill the babies.
OK, come on now.
Does anyone still want to deny that the left is out to destroy the traditional family
(which is the basis of Western Judeo-Christian culture)
?????
Absolutely beautiful! My heart swells looking at your three wonderful blessings!
(Going to kiss my youngest one now...)
You could afford to have more of them if you weren’t paying for the illegitimate kids of others.
Abortion is the penultimate expression of liberalism.
The most innocent human (God’s image) life pays with its life for the irresponsible sexual behaviors of others.
And now I'll have to talk to my wife to see if she really wants to continue with our plans to add more misery in the near future...
What a cutie! God bless him, and Mama and you. We were told we were done adding misery to our lives when #2 arrived.
They forgot to tell the Princess...

I only wish I'd started earlier. I'd have liked to have a couple more.
Sheesh! Those pics of those kids are getting everyone here down in the dumps. Why did ya have to post those anyhoo? ;o)
Jim, good point.
And to think that so many Americans are biting at the bit to get someone in the highest office in the world - who cherishes partial-birth abortion.
If you need to brain-chew "happiness" on an intellectual level, brother, you ain't even in the same zipcode as Happiness, and probably not even the same timezone. I am a peaceable man, but this bozo makes me want to B-slap him silly, and then explain to him what a sad childhood he must have had if he thinks children make you less happy.
Awwwww......you’re so lucky to wake up to that every day.
She’s a doll! *kisses for sweetcheeks* :)
If I didn’t have my two beautiful girls, I would be about $97,000 richer so far, and would also be the saddest, poorest man in existance. What a doofus this guy is.
FREERIDERS!
What a miserable, selfish bunch of bastards. Might as well be Europeans.
Maybe his kind of sex cannot lead to children.
I’m betting his expertise comes from direct observation of his parents.
