Parents often make strenuous efforts during their upbringing journey, which is filled with many happy moments as well as moments of pain and stress.
However, recent research has confirmed that the next will be better and that parenting already makes parents happier after the independence of their children.
The newspaper "Daily Mail" on Tuesday the results of the research conducted by the University of Heidelberg, Germany, based on the data of a recent European survey.
In the survey, 55,000 people were asked about their psychological well-being and emotional stability. The research concluded that happiness is more common among people aged 50 and older with independent children.
It showed that this group was less likely to develop depression and had greater financial independence than their counterparts who had no children at all.
He also showed that the reason why parents who still depend on children are less happy compared to those who no longer have responsibility is because of pressure on them in terms of sleep, time and money.
Researcher Christophe Baker said older children and self-sufficiency are likely to contribute to "welfare of parents" through "social enrichment," including accompanying parents and financially supporting them.
"The role of children as caregivers, financial support or just social communication may outweigh the negative aspects of parenting," he said.
