  1. A new study suggests that when parents think about money, they feel like their parenting is less meaningful
  2. Research suggests that to increase levels of fulfillment, parents should keep parenting activities and money-making activities as separate as possible
  3. This is one of a series of recent findings about parenting and happiness. For instance, recent research has shown that fathers tend to be happier than men without children, but mothers are not happier than women without children
