So I digged in and checked the numbers and the articles. It seems that statistically married women who have children actually report being happiest most in the US.

The blogs you're referring to are more of personal experiences of the author.

Contentment is about mastering your own mind and happiness instead of attaching it to what you have or what you don't. I was very content single. And I am very very content now being in a committed relationship.
