I think part of it for me is that I am exaggerating the selfish prick thing. What it actually was had more to do with coming to grips with just how big a commitment you had signed yourself up for and that is unfortunately an issue that can be dodged if you really want to neglect your family.

I feel like I had a major "I had no idea what a selfish prick I was" crisis after our first was born, but that was really it, the addition of another child didn't really multiply the point. If you don't have that shift after the first one, maybe two, no quiver will be full enough for you to get it.
