What if you spent 18 years doing this only to realize that you put the address in your contacts 1 character off so you sent all this stuff to nowhere or a stranger and your kid just gets an empty account. Or the provider "recycles" the address because it isn't logged into enough and all of your work is lost.
I feel like email might be obsolete in 18 years....or else evolved into something crazy. My mum kept a baby book of things like my birth certification, pictures, drawings, early school stuff. I love it :)
HAHA I would so give them the password on their 18th birthday and be like hey your other birthday present is in here. but the night before, I went and sent a picture of a dirty diaper that they crapped and it looked like it was going to explode. lol, I need help...jk
*does this* Eighteen years later "son/daughter when you were born I made you an email account and have been sending it momentos of your life since then. I wanted to show it to you today but there is a slight issue..... I forgot the password... sorry"
Step your game up son
