Looks like you haven’t fully wrapped your head around the concept of generic classes.

What you say to the compiler with the above declaration is: Whenever you find a T (or U) in the code of the Program class, then replace it with Father (or Mother).

Why do you expect the Program class to have a nested object of type Father? It’s not declared anywhere, all you’ve declared is a type resolving directive for the compiler.

HTH!
