I totally agree with Gene. My children gained control over me shortly before
birth.

Your company is confusing acceptability with
descriptiveness, not to mention accuracy. A
"parent" may pass attributes to a "child," but it
is immediately obvious from my observation of
my friends who have families that being a parent
in no way ensures having control over a child. :)
