I have had four children. I think most couples want children to love and to enhance their lives. It can be seen as selfish in the sense that to-be parents want a replica of themselves or something. However, in another more magnificent way, having a child is so NOT selfish at all. Being a parent means sacrifice, a lot of it, and a lot of the time. It means putting the needs of your child before your own. It involves being there for your child very closely at least for the first 18 years. I am glad I had my children when I was young. To see them grown and happy and following their dreams and starting their own families, is very humbling and makes me feel blessed.
