As you are not using any peering algorithm then Squid will normally use
the first of the two. Only if that fails will it fall back on the
second.

If you use ICP then Squid will automatically select the fastest / least
loaded of the two.

If you add the round-robin option (but keep the no-query option to
disable ICP) then Squid will distribute requests among the two parents
in a round-robin fashion.

With Squid-2.5 you can not define two parents with the same name. But
you can specify to parents with the same IP address by specifying host
different names for them, both resolving into the same IP.

Anything in cache.log?
