How do I prevent child affected for transform scale in css3?

HTML

<div class="wrapper">
    <div class="parent">
        <div class="child">
            lorem ipsum
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.wrapper {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    margin: 30px auto;
    border: 1px dashed #ccc;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.parent {
    width: 1px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: #f00;
    opacity: 0;
    margin: 0 auto;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease;
            transition: all 0.4s ease;
}

.wrapper:hover .parent {
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(300);
            transform: scaleX(300);
}

.wrapper . parent .child {
    -webkit-transform: none;
            transform: none;
}

I want to scale only .parent element when hovering .wrapper div. But it also affects two div (parent and child) although give transform:none property for .child div. How do I prevent .child affected?

Instead of transform: scaleX try changing the width

.wrapper:hover .parent {
    opacity: 1;
    width: 100%;
}

Update:

Honestly, I don't see any reason why would you use scaleX instead of width, but this is the only solution that I came up with. Simply don't nest .child with .parent, make them separate divs with position: absolute. On hover, you'd scaleX only .parent, while you'd only change the opacity of .child (I still used same classes even though they don't have parent-child status anymore).

You'd need to play a bit with transition-delay time to get the exact effect you want.
