You're serving your JS/CSS via /parent as well:

... http://localhost:3000/parent/javascripts/jquery.js
                         ^^^^^^^

So if you declare your routes before you declare the express.static middleware, your catch-all route will handle all JS/CSS requests.

You should use a setup similar to this:

// express.static() first...
app.use('/parent', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

// ...followed by your catch-all route (only one needed)
app.get('/parent*', function(req, res) {
  res.render('main')
});
