Get access to parent class

I'm fighting with some classes or better objects taht are nested in a "main object".
Example:

public class Parent
{
    public string MothersName { get; set; }
    public Child child = new Child(){ ChildsName = "Child1"; }
}

public class Child
{
    public string ChildsName{ get; set; }
    .... Parent MothersName = "LovelyOne";
}

So is there any way to change the mothers name from the child-object?

The child needs to have a reference to the parent class:

public class Parent
{
    public string MothersName { get; set; }
    public Child child;

    public Parent()
    {
       child = new Child("Child1", this);
    }
}

public class Child
{
    public string ChildsName { get; set; }
    public Parent Parent { get; }

    public Child(string childsName, Parent parent)
    {
        this.ChildsName = childsName;
        this.Parent = parent;
    }
}

myChild.Parent.MothersName = "LovelyOne"; works now inside of Child.
