Isn’t “parent 1”, “parent 2”, discriminatory? I mean, come one, ‘1’, ‘2’? Everyone knows 1 as in ‘first’ is superior to 2. This is orderism! This will not stand. The form should read ‘parent’ and for the other ‘parent’... and what about 3, 4, or N parent households. This form is a travesty of modern thinking.
Whole family? for those who are supported by 'the state' - shouldn't that also be listed as a parent?
And what about divorce? Parent 1-2-3-4...if all parties on their 3 marriage..1-2-3-4-5-6 or maybe make them all 1/2 parents or 1/3-1/4-1/6.
Then there's the Poly-amorous families....1-2-3-4-5,etc.
Or the parent that is married to what was once classified as a minor?
What if your 'parent' has legal relations with an animal? Then what? For financial aid purposes a work horse should be classified differently than a show dog.
Applying 'modern thinking'...
