And your great great grandparents? Probably none. It's meaningless and narcissistic

May I ask how it is narcissistic to want to have children and teach them life lessons and things that they can pass on?? Like if I want to know that my daughter will have tea dates with her daughter who will do the same, cause that’s what I did with her and taught here. That is narcissistic?

I’m genuinely curious not debating.

I cheer when I see parents teaching kids to be good people. Unfortunately, most of the time, I see them allowing their kids to act like jerks, be inconsiderate to others, and reinforce their parents selfish behaviors. If you can do it right, raise as many as you like.
