When I do posts like this one, I feel like I am preaching to the Choir. I know through my research for the
Childless by Choice Project that some of you are well aware of these costs and that awareness may be one of the reasons why you chose not to have kids. However, this clever graphic from EarlyChildhoodEducation.com showed me something that even I had not been aware of before, and that is:
The IQ's of parents dropped 12% after having kids.
Okay I get it, high doses of hormones, hours of baby talk and kiddie shows, and attempts to connect with your kid at the level of a three year old can have serious consequences. But I was shocked that is was 12 percent!
What do you think? Are you smarter for not having had kids?
