I can think of very few people whom I would consider "qualified" for the job by any sort of psychobabble standards. 
Truth is, most people simply shouldn't have kids - they're not cut out for it - my parents certainly weren't - but they learned to deal with it and grew up pretty fast.
The good thing is: no matter how fucked up and unqualified your parents are/were, you're not doomed to turn out bad. Not to say that children don't inherit certain behavioural patterns from their parents, but just because you have sucky parents doesn't dictate you will be a sucky person. I'm sure some people here can vouch for that (they don't have to say so if they don't want to).
Likewise though, most parents would do well to realize that how they raise their kids is both a blessing and a curse. If they fuck it up and don't care about it, they get to deal with it for the rest of their lives (unless they skip out early, then they're mostly just cvnts), but the reward is if you do a good job loving your children and providing for them and raising them to be the best people they can be, you get to have someone around to change your bedpan when you're old and gray.
