You are very easily offended. I just think that having a kid shouldn't be something that you seem relatively uninterested in. I'm not saying that you have to go into "OH SHIT LIFECHANGING mode" because you were irresponsible. But having a dog can change your life so raising a kid should.

It seems like how you are talking about it that you expect it to figure everything out on their own, maybe you don't completely teach a kid to walk but you encourage it. And you teach about reading and science and open it's mind up to a whole universe of possibilities. This is a thing you wouldn't be doing if you weren't a parent, thus changing your life.
