My biggest actual goal with raising my kids. I wanna make sure they want to come home and hang. Okay, maybe second biggest after the obvious "making sure they're an individual who is equipped to make sound decisions and care for themselves."
Keep your fridge stocked with their favorite stuff. The way to anyone's heart is through the stomach.
My dad stopped buying chocolate milk a few years ago and now they wonder why I don't visit them as much. I'm 34 and chocolate milk is still a great incentive. Shit's expensive.

I think this is a super common goal; Lots of terrible parents have it.
The problems come in when "equipped to make sound decisions and care for themselves" is interpreted way too seriously.
For instance, my being queer was not a sound decision for me to make.
I doubt your being queer was a decision at all, and therefore doesn't fall under the criteria. Now things like "don't rent to own your furniture," or "meth is not a good idea" are tools for their tool box when it comes to making a good or bad decision.
Way too often “make sound decisions and care for themselves” really just means “be productive and ACQUIRE RESOURCES” in our society.
Once you shed that programming (I had to, at least) it becomes that much more sad realizing how unnecessary so much of the world’s terrible shit is.
Edit: I meant to add that in addition to acquiring resources, you are to “do the things that are expected of a good person.” That was the hardest for me to shake, whether the expectations were real or only perceived/imagined.
