I'm at the age where many of my friends the same age are now parents. Sometimes they are insufferable. The whole world revolves around their stupid kids. All they want to talk about are their stupid kids. They have no life for themselves left. They have no personality left. All there is left over, is their kids.
Some people say that you never know the meaning of sacrifice and selflessness until you have kids. This may indeed be true. I can believe that when you become a parent, and hold a child that is totally vulnerable and dependent, that you finally realize what sacrifice and selflessness is.
But I will also say that parents are among the most selfish people in the world. They are selfless to their kids, but they are also the most selfish for their kids. Their whole mentality shifts to getting what they feel is necessary for their kids, no matter what the cost. And damned be you, if you get in the way of their ambitions for their own kids.
New parents - they can be really annoying sometimes.....
