So we ladies aren't happy?
In a recent study, it has been determined that men are happier than women. There appears to be a growing happiness gap between men and women. And not one, but two new research papers, using very different methods, have come to this conclusion. WHO KNEW!?
What has changed - and what appears to be the most likely explanation for the happiness (or lack there of) trends - is that women now have a much longer to do list...including parenting and taking care of parents. They can't possibly get it all done, and many end up feeling like they are coming up short.
One aspect of these reports is that several decades ago women has a much narrow sence of achievement and ambition. Women have replaced house work with paid work, and as a result, are working two shifts each day - one at the office and one at home. The vast majority of today's women have careers, families, friends, hobbies and more. But at the same time, are feeling incomplete and inadequate. Men on the other hand, seem to have a much easier time making time for "guy time." A golf game, a stop off for a cocktail on the way home is seen as normal behavior.
