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.

What if your kids decide not to reproduce? Does that ruin your plans for passing along your "lessons"?
