How is parenthood selfish? When you have a kid, your life becomes about them. Part of the reason I never want kids is because I want my time to myself and you can't do that as a parent.

YOU SELFISH CHILDFREE PERSON

/sarcasm

Naw, I don't think either you or someone who chooses to be a parent is selfish. What's selfish is having a kid and not putting them first, which of course is only a subset of parenting as a whole.

I think the important distinction is that most people don't mean "selfish" in terms of "I'm doing something only in consideration to myself", but rather, without consideration for anyone and in spite of them.

If you don't think you'd be a happy parent, you're not being selfish, because the child would probably suffer for it in some way. If you think you would, the child you have would not and they would benefit. If you have a kid regardless of your capacity to care for them, then you are selfish.

In the philosophy that the OP seems to be putting forward, any action that you choose to take because it will lead to you getting something that you want is selfish. So, you are selfish for not having children. However, a person who has children is also selfish!

A person is not necessarily a selfish person just because they perform a selfish act.

...ion. A selfish action.
