Being a parent to a child of any age isn&rsquo;t easy. From the moment they&rsquo;re born, they place demands on us which require patience and seemingly endless amounts of energy. From sleepless nights when they&rsquo;re babies to cleaning up after them as teenagers, it sometimes feels like we are nothing but unpaid servants for our offspring. But, for most parents, children do enrich their lives &ndash; even if you are happier once they&rsquo;ve left home.A study led by Heidelberg University, in Germany, surveyed 55,000 parents over 50 years old and showed that those whose children had left home had higher levels of wellbeing and a lack of depressive symptoms, compared with those that didn&rsquo;t have children and those that had children who were still living with them at home.So can children really bring us greater pleasure after they&rsquo;ve flown the nest?
