This inaugurates a series of posts - that is, whenever I think of something and am inspired to post on the topic - about Why People Have Children. These are my conjectures, based in theory. Sweet, sticky, muddy, uneven, opinion-rich theory.
#1 - Some people get so intensely involved and dedicated to their work, and yet they instinctively know they'll burn out if they only focus on work. So having kids is a great way to to have a socially condoned way of saying "I can't work on this anymore, I have other responsibilities."
No judgment, just a theory.
