I knew someone would react this way! It's a common enough joke among mothers

that

we lose 5 IQ points with each child. It's also thought by some that oxytocin

contributes; Michel Odent talks about this. Of course, we can work against this

tendency... I've asked this question specifically of many mothers. The one who

comes immediately to mind was the kindergarten teacher who said she couldn't

follow adult conversations for two years. I would suggest that this is not

something that mothers readily admit to, but they are more than grateful when

they

hear that it is a common experience. And of course, not everyone experiences it.
