[Fiji Hill]

Anyone who uses the word “parenting” or “parent” as a verb should be tarred and feathered.

The proper verb is "to raise" or "to rear."

The proper verb is “to raise” or “to rear.”

I have a very close friend who always corrects those who say “raise” children. He says that you raise corn; you rear children. He went to a “cow college” (VPI), so he may well be right.
