What do you mean by selfish?
Does it mean they think they deserve more help money wise, understanding from others when their kid is screaming in a fairly nice restaurant, or 85% of the sidewalk for their super-stroller? What are you pointing to?
BTW: I think everyone to some degree moves over to thinking the world is only here for their kid once it's born. I'm almost positive it's instinctive. It does bug me to some extent when they insist any of the above, though, I can understand and will probably take on some of those characteristics as well once I am a father. It probably doesn't matter how old you are, practically every parents world centers around their child once they are born.
I'm not so sure. I've known quite a few people who are quite happy to ditch their kids, regularly, with grandparents or friends so they can do something to get away. I don't mean once in a while. I mean weekly.
I was thinking more in the way of personal use of time and money on themselves, as opposed to on their children...

i think theres alot of pressure on young people ,wether theyre parents or not, in this day and age, compared to 30 years ago. Young people are still going to want to see their friends, wear nice clothes and have an ipod etc etc.
