(There may be no real studies to indicate that IQs drop after having children, but something certainly happens. Between baby talk and having to use smaller, simpler words to convery very complex ideas, you sometimes feel like you've lost the ability to communicate on an adult level. I still suffer from that feeling every once in a while - especially when I have to explain something technological to a person who can't program a VCR.)
