In my experience as a guardian ad litem in child neglect/abuse cases, in many cases the selfishness doesn't even extend out that one more level. They still only care about themselves and the kids suffer.
And from general observation, in a lot of cases the neglect/abuse doesn't rise to the level where child protection steps in. So I'd have to agree with you that procreation does not of itself result in a major positive change of personality.
