Thank you to RiceDaddy blogmaster Jason, who podcasted, facebooked, and blogged the NPR conversation above (Go directly to NPR here if the above video doesn’t load). It’s a discussion with three dads about whether being a dad makes a guy happier or not.  It’s an extension of the conversation initiated by this article in New York Magazine: All Joy and No Fun: Why Parents Hate Parenting.  According to the article, parents think that they’re happier because they decided to have kids, but in reality they’re not.  There’s no correlation between kids and happiness, unless people have more than one kid, in which case they tend to be unhappier than people without kids.
