“Here Dave Surls simply ignores our numerous and well-stated explanations why taking care of those one values and loves — even when doing so is unpleasant and/or laborious — is indeed pursuing one’s “own selfish concerns”.”

You are in error. When you’re taking care of a child it’s THEIR interest that’s important, not your interest. And, you are NOT pursuing YOUR selfish concerns, you’re pursuing THEIR concerns. And, no one with a brain in their head cares whether you find it enjoyable or not. Baby needs to be fed, no matter how YOU feel about it. Your selfish concerns mean nothing, and there is no virtue in selfishness when a child needs to be fed.
