Dan and Peter, badly brought up (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parented

'brought up' is the definition.
('parent' can be a synonym of 'bring up')

'dan and peter badly' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'dan' put after 'peter' is 'peterdan'.
'peterdan' anagrammed gives 'PARENTED'.
