What made you think you'd be a good parent?
And what made you want to have a child?

Biology/innate drive. There's no rational reason!

My first was an accident but I knew as soon as I found out that I would give them everything I never had.

Had quite a crappy childhood, so I think that was my main motivation, to be able to give a child the life and love they deserve.
