Being a father is an amazing thing in the world. Father means the male parent of a child. But giving birth is not the only job for a father. A selfish father is more concerned about his own needs rather than his child’s needs. But he is fully responsible for his child. A father needs to know how’s his child growing, what’s the basic need of a child. Not everyone can be a good father. In recent days, good parenting is a hard thing to find. There are many fathers who think their responsibility seems to end with birth.

A good father can never criticize his child. He should understand his child’s mind. A selfish father is worse than an absent father. If you are facing this problem with your father then you should take action. Here we just covered some selfish father quotes. Maybe these quotes can soothe your mind.
