Parents with more kids less likely to get sick?
Posted: 07/05/2012
It may seem impossible, but a new study says if you're a parent, you're 53 percent less likely to develop a cold than non-parents.
The study from Carnegie College even showed the more kids you have, the less likely you'll get sick.
Parents with one or two kids were 48 percent less likely to develop a cold, while parents with three or more kids were 61 percent less likely.
What do you think about the study's findings? Has this been your experience, or do you always seem to come down with something?
