I-130, Part 5 Question 7, confusing relationship question

[imeraustan]

Hello!
Please advice. I’m trying to fill out a form I-130 (Petition for a relative) online and there’s a question about whether I’m submitting another petition for another relative at the same time (part 5 question 7 of the paper form), which I am because I’m submitting petitions for both my parents. The form (say, the petition for my father) prompts me to indicate my mother’s name and my relationship to her.
Here’s the quote: What is your relationship to this relative?
I assume that MY relationship to my mother is Child so I chose “child”. The form accepts it and on the next screen shows my mother’s name with the word “child” below it.
Seems a bit off. Should it be “parent”? But the question asks about MY relationship to my mother, NOT my mother’s relationship to me.
So what should I enter there: “child” or “parent”?
Thanks for your help

@ imeraustan,

Are you the one whose going to sponsor and file the I-130?
If YES.. then,
The question it says that , What is your relationship to this relative who your about to petition... Your not petitioning yourself but your mother/ father right? So the answer is Mother/Father.
What is your relationship to this relative? Is she / he your child? Mother? Father? If your petitioning you parents, then the relationship is not about you. Its about your parents who is your Mother or Father.
