Kids are said to fill our lives with poignancy and inexplicable joy, yet it appears many parents would rather be tossing back some bourbon and rolling around in their skivvies than taking care of their beloved offspring. A new study by Carsten Grimm from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand has found people rate sex as the top activity that brings them happiness, followed by drinking alcohol or "partying." Caring for kids (yawn) fell down the list at number five. God also got the cold shoulder, with people rating meditating and religion at number four.

I am sure the alcoholics and sex addicts have a lot of fun, especially during the final stages before their early demise in various forms of horrible diseases, and can confirm this 'report'.

How long does enjoying a family last?
I can only speak from personal observation....
Most families I encounter are so dysfunctional; there is precious little enjoyment, what with all the resentments, bickering, lying and abuse.
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 8:15
