The act of raising kids. I have quite a handful of them and have raised them to be healthy teenagers. Are you a parent?
Yes I am a parent of a boy. My boy is still a toddler 
Nice, the term is used to describe  intricacies of raising a child aside from the biological relationship.
which term are you referring to?
We are talking about parent as the act of raising and caring for a child :)
Ok. Got you now
Nature has it that even though there might be others to help during the birth of a child, the most common caretakers will be the biological parents
