As for children being selfish--I would say that some people are just as selfish in their reasons not to have children. Most children aren't selfish--they're very giving and loving. But like us, they all have their points where they don't want to share.

When I said selfish it had nothing to do with sharing, thats something that can be taught quite easily. My children can give and love, more often than not its because they want something in return. I dont mean to sound so sour on children, I just wish someone had told me that when I had a choice. My children were born into this world relying totally on me to provide for them in everyway, love, food, encouragment, clothing, shelter, hugs, disipline, guidance and so much more. They take so much more than they can give back, its the reality of parenting. My whole point I guess was, if you value your own sanity as well as your childrens be prepared to be overflowing with all of the above because you will come out somewhat drained at the end of it.
Just about anyone can have children, thats the problem, in todays society it is not a decision to be taken lightly.
