    Selfish:

    : concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.

    By definition.

      My daughter is not me. Your beliefs do not affect me at all. I’m already doing great, and you and i are most assuredly not competing for anything.

        You want her to have an easy life. That’s natural. At the expense of others. That’s selfish.

          I didn’t cost the other people anything. I’m just happy they’re independently making dumb choices they’d hate me for trying to talk them out of.

          There’s no way to spin this so that you’re right.

        You’re still acting like a bitch. I hope you’re not like this to your neighbors because they might shoot you AND your kids if shit hits the fan (but you have nothing to worry about… Right?).

        Might be a bit contentious to say, but you’re really bad at protecting your young’s survival chances right now. Your selfishness actively endangers them even though this vector has no consequences right now. I hope you learn not to be an asshole to random people. It might impact more than just yourself. Granted I’m sure you’re only like this because you’re behind a keyboard, but if you said this to people in real life, I doubt you would have many reliable friends left.

          I find this extremely unlikely.

          I’m not selfish. We discussed this. You’re free to make your own choices. I’m free to enjoy that they’re bad ones.

          Granted I’m sure you’re only like this because you’re behind a keyboard, but if you said this to people in real life,

          I’ve told my daughters friends this too. Swing and a miss, again.
