The
people who supposedly birthed you but with whom you feel no attachment. They may often share their living courters with you and ocassionly toss you a
buck or two for the bus or tell you "i bought mac and cheese...you can handle that for tonight, right?" but don't feel
like family because they seem like they are just there.
Differentiation
may be shown by using 'male' or '
female' as a prefix of the term.
ex. male parental unit or
female parental unit
