parent's
Belonging to caretaker
Parent's is the possessive form of parent, indicating something belonging to or associated with a single parent.
It appears before nouns to show ownership or relationship: my parent's house, a parent's responsibility, the parent's signature.
The form is distinct from parents' (possessive of multiple parents) and parents (simple plural).
In legal and educational contexts, parent's often appears in phrases requiring individual consent or acknowledgment: parent's permission slip.
