I think you're looking for the word parent?
- namelessoracle 5y agoSingle parenthood does seem to be what those of a certain ideological bent push yes.
- foota 5y agoNot sure what you're implying, but I just mean why can't parents just be called parents? There's no need for a gendered word.
- goatlover 5y agoA female parent is a mother. That's what their children call them, not "parent", with allowances for foster children and older adopted kids calling them by their first name.
- npteljes 5y agoI don't think calling a parent 'mother' is something children do by themselves. They call them however they end up calling them, or whatever their parents teach them. Also certainly not 'mother', rather 'mum', 'mom'... and the Turkish children say anne.
