Parents generally enjoy being with their kids but mothers are less happy than fathers with their parenting duties because they do more of the 'work' and less of the 'fun' tasks, a new study has found.

Young children of divorced parents are not only more likely to suffer from anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem and sadness; they also experience long-lasting setbacks in interpersonal skills and academic development.
