Objects move when parented

When I try to parent one object to another or to a charactwer, it moves position. It onlt started to do this recently; have I accidently changed some setting? If not how do I parent an object with it staying on the same place relative to the host object/character?

When facing the same problem, I first parent the object to the character (like his hand), and then I position the object correctly. If I move the character, the object willl follow. And since it is already parented it will never move without my control.

If you want to keep the object in its current position you need to turn on Parent in Place. When using the Change Parent dialogue that's a box at the bottom, if you are using drag-and-drop in the Scene pane it's an entry in the Scene pane option menu - click the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab, and make sure that Parent in Place is checked.
