Pass on your genes, keep the human race going, have someone there who loves you unconditionally when you're old, sick and frail. Assuming you raise your kids right, you'll have a good experience. If you're a shit parent, you'll have brats for kids who yell at you and "tell you what to do," as you put it. If you have a feeling that you'll be a shit parent, please refrain from rawdogging or at least make sure she's on the pill.
