How to use parent in a sentence?

  1. Andrew Stiff:

    We are very happy to see Logan recovering so well and just being a happy kid again, we always believed he would get better, but the lowest point was when he failed to breathe on his own. It was frustrating as a parent to not be able to do anything at all to help him.

  2. Kerene Barefield:

    I don’t think the queen would be paying the settlement money, however, she could possibly be paying some of the funds to the charity. It just wouldn’t sit well with people if the queen contributed financially to the settlement itself. But the situation does put her in a tricky spot as a queen and as a mother. Every parent wants to help their children, but in her case, she has all of the public’s eyes on her.

  3. Brian Laundrie:

    It's quite sad, you can imagine as a parent, finding your son's belonging alongside from the remains. That's got to be heartbreaking. And I can tell you that they are heartbroken.

  4. Jo Zmood:

    You choose this path because you want to be parent, not because you want to change the order.

  5. Lee Raby:

    Mental health is also important, and then a new direction of the study is going to the origins of physical health problems. We know that stress is not good for health, and that stress early in life in the form of not-optimal parent-child relationship may have these kinds of long-term effects on biological health. Those are all unanswered questions.
