Interesting that the highest group doesn't even pass 50%. That's kind of sad actually. Less than half of US women aged 25-55 would say that life was enjoyable most of the time in the past 30 days. I wonder how this would have compared to 30 years ago.

I did not read the article, so this is just a hot-take. My hunch is that to have children, one must already be happier than others to even consider it. Here, lots of childless couples carry some heavy childhood trauma, making them, on average, less happy, not wanting to pass on their burden and genes to someone else, and thus, less likely to have children. Basically, it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Happy coz of no kids, or no kids coz of not happy, that is the question. Just a hunch though.

That’s because they have someone to tell what to do. Haha

To be unmarried without children is like a cardinal of sin to be lonely
