Because they're my parents, and i've followed their stated wishes. I don't remember a clause in their will that said "Please have Mormons retrobaptize me after i'm dead". It's really pretty simple.

Why do you have any more right to your dead parents than they do? It's ok if you perform stuff on your dead parents, but not if some random person does? What sense does that make?

But what if you hadn't? Then is it open season on the retrobaptizing?
They think they're doing your parent a favor. At worst, they're doing nothing at all except wasting their own time.
I am pretty sure if your parent's soul is still around somewhere they really wouldn't care, and who knows, they might be very grateful.
