I see very well adjusted intelligent people who would make great parents decide they don't want kids all the time. I'm like, "Why? The world needs more parents like you. You're exactly the type of person who should have kids because they'll grow up to be good and productive and caring people." |
Oh, I've heard the theory before. And sure I know people just like you've described. I just think there is more to it. There are so many factors which go into people deciding to have kids or not that I don't think it can be boiled down to intelligence.
I want lots of kids...you can use that to prove or disprove this theory as you like
