[Feature]: Parents as actual parents #1061
Description
Feature Summary
As far as I know it's only possible to add children. But because parents do a lot of stuff around the house it would be nice to be able to show those parents on the dashboard so the kids can see how much the parents do in a week.
I have added myself and my wife as children and I need to approve for both of us which is kind of strange...
So I would like to see 2 types of users.
Child & Parent
Both viewable from the dashboard.
What problem does this solve?
Having to add parents as children to make the work they do visable to everyone
Proposed Solution
New user type
Which area does this relate to?
Other / not sure

Thanks for this — it made total sense, and it's now built (#1066). It will be in the next release, v6.4.0.
How it will work:
show_adults: truein YAML) and the adults appear after the kids, so the kids can see what you've been up to that week.child_id) still works for an adult, so you can each have your own card too.Until v6.4.0 is out, the workaround is to turn off Requires approval on the chores only you two do.

The code is already there. It just needed some tweaks to allow parents.
