devil's advocate - all of these things you mentioned MUST be accomplished to raise a kid-

whatever hobby your kid picks up you will be forced to partake of.

cooking and fitness are a must.if you fall apart you cannot take care of your child.

you must have discernment in what activities you choose for your children. you might hate them but you will have to do them.

schedule also happens automatically - kid will ask for food,entertainment,education regularly.

a kid will get you 90 percent of the way there.

You're aware that plenty of people have a child and don't succeed on any of these levels? Many millions of people.

Their children suffer for it, of course.

Having a child doesn't fix anybody. Suggesting that it does, through necessity, is nearly the stupidest thing an adult can say.
