Because parents have emergencies, and there is a very real possibility that sometime over the course of your life, you will need to care for a child for a short time, perhaps even a long time.
And it's so easy to do, that really the only thing that stands in most people's way is fear. For example, "how to change a diaper" is not a freaking skill--if you can wipe your own ass, you can wipe a baby's. It's the idea that someone would say they
can't that is sort of pathetic. It's the general confidence itself that should be considered a neessary life skill.
