its easy for a practiced mom to make a statement like "people are selfish until they have kids"! what I don't understand is why those unarmed (with kids) are always so easy to take censure and smile at it. ever heard of a mom being open to criticism, of any kind? the immediate retort will be "don't judge until you understand!"

my view is: parenthood expands a person's definition of 'self', to include those born from oneself. but the concentration on the new 'self' is far stronger and more selfish than anything before. ever heard of a parent having time for you, if you're not the offspring? so parents, stop judging others.
