Nice chess shot hehehehe! Anyways I liked your view and I agree, an absent parent doesn't equal a failed parent. Life isn't 1+1 sometimes. However, can you call you someone a parent if they are aabsent?

Big man! Lucky I didn't get paired with you in the last tourney. You were on firee!
Now that I think about it, I don't think "parent" is the right term to use if they are absent. What's the right word?
Lol, well with beserk, you can't be so sure. Anyways thanks.
I don't know maybe parent is still the word. The noun means the person father. Problem is the verb "parenting" - to act as a father. So if you are absent, whoever acts as a father to the child parented the child....
Ps: all this na English sha.
Here's what I got;
In a biological sense, a person who has contributed to the conception of a child is technically a parent, regardless of their involvement in the child's life.
So I guess we still refer to them as parents.
