Unless you deny caching by the no_cache or proxy-only directives all Squids
the requests are sent via will cache the response.

Then why do you at all use it as a parent?

In a sibling relation the request will only be sent to the sibling if the
sibling claims it has the response cached.

In a parent relation the request is always sent there, assuming the parent
will find the requested data if not available in it's cache.
