Great news for parents of multiples! You probably didn't need a research study to tell you that the more children in your life, the happier you are, but now you have the data to back up your own experience. Despite the double (or triple) feedings, sleepless nights, groggy mornings, incremental costs and chaos, the greater the number, the greater the joy. UK researcher Dr. Luis Angeles published these results in The Journal of Happiness Studies: "Children have a significant and positive effect on life satisfaction, an effect that only increases with the number of kids." So let's raise a glass to the multitudes -- that old saying, "The more, the merrier," has never been so true!
