Explanation

(want). when conjunctions like, Not only … but also, neither … nor, etc are used. The first subject is kept under the parenthetical effect and the verb is used according to the second subject. In the sentence the second subject 'parents' is plural 'parents'. So, the verb should be in its plural form 'want'.
