The correct word to use here is "is" instead of "are." Although you brought in "mother," the subject of the sentence remains to be the singular word "father." Therefore, the singular word "is" should be used as well.

It depends on the sentence. If you don't know which one to use, cover up the other people, and change change it so it's as close to grammatically correct as you can.

Like here, correct sentences:

"My father, mother, and I are going to the store."

(After removing the part about your parents) I am going to the store.

"This is my father, mother, and me inside this picture."

This is me inside this picture.

And here, incorrect sentences:

"My father, mother, and me left."

(After removing the part about your parents) Me just left.

"This is my father, mother, and I inside this picture."

This is I inside this picture.

See the difference between the correct and the incorrect? Hopefully this grammar lesson made sense.

It depends on whether you're referring to just one - or both... Mr Homer Simpson is Bart's parent. Homer and Marge Simpson are Bart's parents.
