because parenting isn't about just changing diapers and feeding food but also about sharing wisdom with them so that as they grow they will be responsible and mature and be capable of making good decisions for their age, you literally shape their personality and what the rest of their life will be like. basically, you're trying to make someone everything you're not and everything you didn't have. I'm pretty sure that's the goal of any good parent, there's two inherent problems here though 1: your parents are going to help raise the child 2: you have no inherent wisdom or lifeknowledge by which to raise them. Your child will be raised to be just as confused about life as you are.
