Becoming a parent only causes brief joy that 'wears off after a year'
- Researchers analysed data from 4 countries: UK, US, Germany and Australia
- They found the positive glow of parenthood only lasted for around 12 months
- After that time there was no improvement in 'subjective well being', they said
- But having a partner produces a positive effect that doesn't go away over time
