A parent (from Latin: parēns = parent) is a caretaker of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age). Children can have one or more parents, but they must have two biological parents. Biological parents consist of the male who sired the child and the female who gave birth to the child. In all human societies, the biological mother and father are both responsible for raising their young. However, some parents may not be biologically related to their children. An adoptive parent is one who nurtures and raises the offspring of the biological parents but is not actually biologically related to the child. Children without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members.
A parent can also be elaborated as an ancestor removed one generation.
Like mothers, fathers may be categorized 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.

But, but, Sam never complained. He never complained.::Rizwan Khan: Sam had one more bad habit. He always hid bad news from us. He would never tell me when my favorite team Manchester United lost.

Zakir Khan: [to TV cameras] The question over here is, not why he's trying to meet the President. The question is, what's wrong in an ordinary citizen wanting to meet the President of his country? Or is it just wrong for a Muslim man to even try?
Rizwan Khan: Mama Jenny is right... this one I can't repair.
Plot
Whitney (a dude) loves Taylor (a chick), but it's a question who really wears the pants in their relationship (and if they're both committed to it). He cooks, cleans, irons and wants to bring their 4-year relationship toward a marriage after the death of his father; she wants to booze it up and continue playing the field (more or less) while lying about her activities to her strict and rigidly religious bible-quoting parents. Adding to this is Aldo, a male model and former prom date of Taylor's, who lives with them and does what he can to sabotage their relationship, aiming to have Taylor to himself. Can the Whitney-Taylor pairing succeed in a romantic comedy or is it destined to fall apart in a mild satire on gender roles?

pushed too far
my throat is raw
my eyes are sore
all this shouting and screaming going on

just trying to get the truth
is this the way it's always been
can't change your point of view
God is good and this is true
what have I left behind
oh loving parent
what do I hope to be one day
oh loving parent
would you take me as I am
if I couldn't get it right
would you still hear me out
if I spoke my mind
my heart is broken, my mind confused
all these expectations way too high
tugging and pulling at the truth
just trying to understand my youth
is this the way it's meant to be
can you change your point of view
God is good and this is true
what have I left behind
oh loving parent
what do I hope to be one day
oh loving parent
what have I now become
oh hated daughter
what have I now become
