"My database contains everything there is to know about pediatric care and childhood development. I can't imagine a parenting problem I couldn't handle."
– The Doctor, 2373 ("Real Life")

In a family, a parent was the caregiver responsible for providing parenting to an offspring. (VOY: "Q2", et al.) The person responsible for contributing DNA to a child was known as the biological parent. (ENT: "Cold Station 12", TNG: "True Q", VOY: "Favorite Son") Thought often used to describe people in general, the colloquial term folks was often used to described one's parents. (ENT: "Fight or Flight", et al.) Offspring, who is raised by only one or none of the biological parents, is called an orphan.
