it's selfish to expect to be compensated fairly for your hard-won expertise and hard work. SHEESH!! However, it may well be called foolish, with the bosses' excuse of "hard times" for not wanting to do the right thing.

Not Selfish
I am not being selfish, i have two other children in the public school system and that is where they want to be, but for my son Home schoolig has been the best thing for him.
Each child is different and as parents we always have to do what is best for our children for they our the future.
Again, we agree. Very selfish to think they should have every holiday off, as if they are sm
the only ones with a family or a life. And yes, when there is a chance to line their pockets, they will be the first to suck the work dry.
I guess it doesn't matter. At least I know I'm doing the right thing. I take breaks and have my family time and everyone understands that is just the nature of the business. I guess once people quit getting sick at times it is inconvenient for us, we can all take off.
My dad is an immature, selfish idiot.
Entertained himself by making fun of me and laughing at me when I got upset, doesn't know how to carry on even the simplest conversation, has been telling the same tired jokes for 40 years for lack of anything to say and goes to bed at 2PM because there are people in the house and he can't keep up with a discussion like a normal human being. I grew up with no self esteem and married the first abusive, selfish, hateful idiot that I came across because I thought that was all the better I could do.
Thank goodness I saw what was going on with me and why and have been straightening out my life for the past 12 years or so and avoid my dad (and the rest of my dysfunctional family) at all cost.
My dad = a waste of oxygen.
That is not selfish, it is something called LOVE.

Strike at this time is selfish
I think that during this hard time for the country, anyone who is going to strike, ie. kick and scream till they get what they want, are being selfish. There are SOOOO many unemployed right now and sooo many more running the risk as well. I understand not wanting to take cuts, etc. but face it people, that is what a lot of people in this country are resorting to because they have no other choice. Many, I am sure, would be HAPPY to have a job...and these people want to quit working till they get their way? And these people are the people who preach about patient care? - just my opinion
Listen - most men have more selfish ways than women. sm
I can remember when my teens were small, my husband would moan and groan whenever I took time away from the home and "went out." To be honest, we were young and immature then - mature enough to get married and have children, but NOT mature enough in our married relationship.
Sometimes selfishness disguises itself as insecurity. Maybe, he is a little insecure and not as selfish as you think. It took me a long time to recognize it and I did not recognize it until I "matured" enough to see it.
Just wanted to give you something to think about!
BTW - Marriage is hard work. It is not easy, especially in the first 7-10 years, and it is even harder with small chiildren. You need to communicate, communicate, and communiate some more as well as show each other love and respect, it will become a smoother ride!
Been married for 19 years now and would not want to live a day without my Mr. McDreamy!
Good luck.
