I'm not certain what this question is really asking. If read literally, I would assume yes, a mother and a father can parent an AB positive child provided they are capable adults. If the question is asking can a man have a child that has a different blood type than his, the answer is yes. A baby will have either mom or dad's blood type. Now if dad is O pos and mom is AB pos and the baby's blood type is neither one of those, I would suggest DNA testing for that baby.

Blood type is really simple. The blood type that you are is the type of antigen that you have in your blood. So if you're blood type A, you have antigen A in your blood. Thus, your body naturally produces antibodies the the other blood type (B). That's why if you get type B blood in your body, it clots. Your body's antibodies to type B will cling onto the antigen B's dumped in your body and create clots.

Because of this, sometimes, if a baby has blood type B, and the mother is type A, the mothers antibodies will reject the baby. However, there are shots you can take to stop this from happening.

Understanding blood types though, shows that a type AB mother should be able to carry a baby with any blood type, because type AB is the universal receiver. The mother has both antigen A and B in her blood, and thus, has no antibodies to either. She can take blood from anybody, including any child she will carry.
