I think he wanted to make his dad proud when he took the formula to be the Green Goblin. He wanted to hurt his dad by giving him ideal children and making him happy and then screw him to learn they were fake, just like the Robot parents for Peter. I guess maybe in the Osborn way, hurting people would make them proud. Kind of like we see Norman say he is so proud of his son in issue 31.
