I think selfish is what my son is. He has two daughters and all he keeps telling them is what he whats from them. He won't even talk to one of his daughters because she refuses to go to college and this is what he wants for her. I had two girls too and I never thought of what I wanted for them. I let them decide and they are very happy today with good husbands and good jobs. My son is very controlling to a point where he is selfish.
