I have just had my fifth child.  I just love being a mum its the best job in the world.  Are you a parent?
No, I'm not. Parenting skills vary, and I hope that when I'm a parent I'll have good parenting skills and be referred to as a "good parent."
I hope people see me as that too.  You will love it when you do.  I imagine parenting styles vary from country to country?
I'm not sure, but the quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child.
Definitely. Parenting refers to the intricacies of raising a child and not exclusively to the biological relationship.
Where as a parent is a caregiver of the offspring in their own species.
