Those who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder can love others, including their children. However, they can feel easily offended by the smallest of slights and, in this context, are capable of neglecting iimportant duties - including the realm of parenting responsibilities. They will be capable to love them but not wholeheartedly.
It has been my experience that narcissists never truly care about their children. Not in the manner and sense that normal people do. N's USE their children for various reasons...ie...to gain attention, to have the upper hand, to gain and/or keep perceived control over the narcissistic supply. N's use their children for many different reasons. Whatever the N thinks is love (N's do not know what love is) I am sure they feel a certain amount of that for their children. Make no mistake about it though, once the N is finished with the child, they are finished. If the N has nothing to gain by having the children around, there is no way the children will be around. Children, as well as any other form of narcissistic supply, are disposable to the N. N's will throw them away like yesterdays leftovers. It's truly sad because in most cases, children of a narcissist generally have an unexplainable adoration for the N. The N demands that from his children and the children have no choice but to psychologically comply. Hopefully, through example, the children will grow up with empathy and compassion (traits that a N do not possess). The only way to ensure that your children do not become narcissistic is to provide a GLEAMING example of what narcissists DON'T do...and, unfortunately, sometimes that will not be enough. Good Luck! I hope this helped. they didnt care to start with, unless the child can 'supply' the narcissist.
Narcissism can be considered a major problem within a person. However, a narcissist does not stop loving their children after they have reached a certain age.
Yes
Hate
Narcissists love only themselves.
No. Narcissists can be only children, middle, large families. No correlation.
They are narcissists. They are narcissistic. They have narcissism.
Yes they are.
They are already in love with the only person they will ever be in love with and that is- themselves. if it seems that they are in love with you they are not. they have become experts at faking love and sometimes, since they don't know what love feels, they mistake their need and love for attention (from which they get from their supply/mate) with the feeling they have towards their mate. Basically they think they love you but they actually love what you are giving them (attention, money etc,) not you.

Narcissists NEVER love you. They "say" they love you for a reason - sex, money, place to live...They bore easily and often date just to make you jealous and keep you lured in. LET THE OTHER WOMAN HAVE HIM AND RUN LIKE H*LL!!!
This is the correct spelling. Narcissists.
In general it is agreed that the most common careers for narcissists are those that grant automatic respect such as doctors, pastors, teachers/professors, or the military. There are plenty of other jobs that narcissists might gravitate towards, but these are a few of the most common. "Malignant Self Love" by Dr. Sam Vaknin
They may be nice to there children because they see them as extensions of themselves and not as"free thinking individuals." Children are just more mirrors for them to look at in vain.
