XPath extract text inside tag

HTML structure looks like this:

<div class="Parent"> 
  <div id="A">more tags and text</div>  
  <div id="B">more tags and text</div> 
  more tags
  <p> and text </p>
</div>

I would like to extract text just from the parent and the tags apart from the A and B children. I have tried /div[@class='Parent']//text()

which extracts text from all the descendant nodes, so a made a constraint like /div[@class='Parent']//text()[not(self::div)]

but it did not change a thing.

Thanks for any advice

/div[@class='Parent']/*[not(self::div and (@id='A' or @id='B'))]//text() | /div[@class='Parent']/text()
