I IS STUPID

I just heard on the radio why I go stupid when I have a baby. I understand the prenatal problems – pregnant brain rot – but why can’t I get it together after having a baby? And why does it get worse after each child?
Well, I just heard the results of a study in some European country (I just heard this report and have already forgotten the country). It seems that love causes people to do weird things and lose concentration. Fairly intelligent people lose concentration when shown photos of loved ones.
I AM IN SO MUCH TROUBLE! An amazing husband, 11 beautiful, awesome children, throw in a wonderful church family, great extended family, and being surrounded by friends and I just don’t stand a chance of ever being intelligent again. To add to the problem, I’m a part of the scrapbooking cult so I constantly have photos of loved ones in front of me so concentration is out the window. (My DD did just point out the fact, though, that I have so many loved ones running around, my concentration is constantly being interrupted by them.)
I have also heard of another study that shows certain chemicals are released each time you have a child that make you MORE intelligent. Why does God do that? Give you the potential for genius but then causes you to love so much it hurts and you lose rational and just go half-witted.
I know it’s happening to me: Lots of things like I can’t remember what day it is day-to-day, I feel confused and in a daze, I use to know ins-and-outs of current politics but now I just tell my husband to tell me who to vote for, and, the biggest confirmation…I’m starting to like the dog.
