A parent is a mother or father; one who sires or gives birth to and/or nurtures and raises an offspring. The different roles of parents vary throughout the tree of life, and are especially complex in human culture. FatherMain article: FatherLike mothers, fathers may be categorised according to their biological, social or legal relationship with the child. Historically, the biological relationship paternity has been determinative of fatherhood. However, proof of paternity has been intrinsically problematic and so social rules often determined who would be regarded as a father e.g. the husband of the mother. Biological parents and parental testingThe term biological parent refers to a parent who is the biological mother or father of an individual. While an individual's parents are often also their biological parents, it is seldom used unless there is an explicit difference between who acted as a parent for that individual and the person from whom they inherit half of their genes. For example, a person whose father has remarried may call his new wife their stepmother and continue to refer to their mother normally, though someone who has had little or no contact with their biological mother may address their foster parent as their mother, and their biological mother as such, or perhaps by her first name.

I really want to start skating lessons again. I have been doing several public sessions, and I have asked my mom to call my coach and let her know that I'm ready to start up with some lessons again, but she just kind of keeps pushing it off. My parents are worried that I'm going to move my spinal cord stimulator leads or injure myself again. I can understand why my parents are worried because I've been through a lot in the past year and a half (I've had a knee surgery, 4 spinal cord stimualtor surgeries, and a battery replacment in my hip for my spinal cord stimulator). My doctors have cleared me to go play sports again, and do what I would like; they say that as long as I'm not having pain that I should be fine to participate in sports… [cont.] Asked by icesk8er - Thu Aug 2 00:12:52 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. I knew you had surgeries, but I never did ask how exactly you got injured! If you could put yourself in your parent's shoes, which it seems you already have, you can understand their concerns for you. It's heartbreaking to see your "child" go through any pain - even moreso when the condition is "chronic". You've been through a lot in the last couple years, especially for a teen . . . I'm sure they don't want you (or themselves) to relive all that, or to make your progress worse. They care for you greatly and are trying to do what's best for you. So what would comfort them to know that it would be alright for you to start skating again? Lay out a plan of how you would taking extra care of yourself . . . you can't totally prevent… [cont.] Answered by TripleBunnyHop - Thu Aug 2 11:07:02 2007 How to convince parents to let you go to the movies alone? Q. How can i convince my parents to let me go to the movies with a group of friends without parental supervision. There won't be any guys its just a group of girls going to the movies. I am a responsible teenager and so are my friends. How can i convince my parents? Asked by BABE <3 <3 <3 - Sun Feb 15 16:29:04 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. By now, any logical reasoning will have become obsolete with your parents. It is a GROUP (you won't get taken,) of GIRLS (or pregnant). You will also have your mobile so you can keep in contact with them, (except for during the movie, you will tell them when it starts and finishes for reasons of safety) and then they can pick you up so you get home safely.

Q. This only counts for parents who do that. Asked by Princess - Thu Nov 20 06:43:44 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am old enough to remember being spanked. That was the way it was done back then. Nowadays its a different world with different views. It all depends on the age of your children, mine are 9 and 7 now. I use a four step program that's works for me. First I take away any video gaming. Still continues I take away the TV rights, third toys are taken away. And the last thing i take away are their books. Both mine love to read. I throw away toys when i take them away from them too, but normally they are the Mc D's toys broken ones, they haven't caught on to that one yet. I have also bought a lot of fun activity books for them to play with and when I get to four, books pulled, I sometime tear pages they have done in the activity books out and… [cont.] Answered by ndsandman - Thu Nov 20 08:59:31 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Parents" Parenting is the process of raising and educating a child from birth until adulthood.
