http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293760,00.html Poll: Family Ties Key to Happy Kids Sunday, August 19, 2007  NEW YORK — So you're between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, a little rock 'n' roll. Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys. Turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive survey — more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people ages 13-24 — conducted by The Associated Press and MTV on the nature of happiness among America's young people....

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, everyone seems to be too busy nowadays to spend time with their children and teenagers.

"Next was spending time with friends, followed by time with a significant other. And even better for parents: Nearly three-quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy." a couple other things which jumped out at me, that suggest things are changing in recent times... "Money may make the world go around, but when asked what one thing makes them happiest, almost nobody in the poll mentioned money or anything material." and "Those for whom religion and spirituality plays a bigger role tend to be happier, according to the poll. More than half — 55 percent — say it is either a very important part of life or the single most important thing in their lives." perhaps there is a collective coming of age going on.

They had to take a poll to know the obvious?  How the polls are conducted make all the difference, but it is common sense that ahppy families have happy kids.

Well for those of us without Cleaver households we just must be complete misanthropes then! Here was my bliss: 1) Academic performance 2) Friends 3) Hey, I'm not afraid to admit it, I was and still am a Material Man
