Is it narcissist if the only reason I want a baby is because it will look just like me?

    No, no. If you've got good genes it's natural to want to benefit the world by making more like you.

    Narcissistic or not, you will never have a baby that looks exactly like you. In fact, it's quite likely your baby wouldn't look much like you at all, especially if it's the opposite sex to you. I see a lot of people who only have a very minor resemblance to their parents, if any resemblance at all.

    It wouldn't be a good reason to have a child. Only have a child when you want it for the right reasons, and can give it the love it deserves.

    believe me- you cannot special order a baby to look like you or anyone else NOR to even be born completely healthy.... SO make really sure that you want a baby (who will be a child, a teen and an adult for w-a-y longer than it's a baby!) to love unconditionally, no matter what you get, cuz raising a child, while the most fulfilling thing you'll ever do, is also-by far- the hardest and most heartbreaking thing you'll ever do!

    well when I was younger and at the peak of my looks, years and years ago, one of my best friends, who is close to being a genius was joking with me and said we should have a child together with my looks and his brains but we then thought about it and said well it could also be his looks and my brains and that kid would be in bad shape, although my brain isn't that bad. The moral of the story is genetically, you never know what will pop up. Your sperm donor may have a great , great grandparent with a harelip or spina bifida or something else you don't know about.

    Yes. And immature. And irresponsible. And stupid because you asked if it is narcissist. The word is narcissistic to describe yourself or narcissism to name the behavior.

    *Narcissistic, you mean. Not Narcissist. You wouldn't say "Is it therapist to give therapy?"

    Narcissist, being a person infatuated with themselves, is a noun. If you want to use the word to describe something, it's narcissistic.

    Have a good day.

    yes it is and it doesn't work because when i was pregnant with my baby boy,i wanted a girl so that she could raise as much hell as her mother,instead i had a boy that reminds me to ALWAYS use birth control.now don't get me wrong,i LOVE MY SON,i just don't like the "donor" who's gonna be in my life for the next 18 years.

    Totally. There are no guarantees who a baby will look like. She could look like her father's ugly grandmother, the one with the beady eyes and big nose.

    I would lean toward a yes. Have a baby because you want to love them to pieces and have them grow up to be responsible and mature.
