Hmmm, having children can be extremely stressfull, but I can hardly

 Somewhere I've heard that the biological drive to procreate can only
be completely satisfied by grandchildren. :-) I have quite a few years
 to wait before first-hand experience.

 As for those researchers, the fact that they seem to overlook
is that having children significantly changes most of your priorities.

What if one doesn't want to have one's priorities changed?
