Object changes size when picking up

Unity Engine
1

I created a script for picking up an object(cube) and whenever I do this it changes scale and I am not sure why or how to fix this.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class pickup : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform theDest;

    void OnMouseDown()
    {
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().freezeRotation = false;
        this.transform.position = theDest.position;
        this.transform.parent = GameObject.Find("Tempparent").transform;
    }
    void OnMouseUp()
    {
        this.transform.parent = null;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = true;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().freezeRotation = true;
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = true;

    }
}

thanks

maybe parent transform is scaled?

could try this, with the 2nd parameter set to true:

so instead of using void onmousedown and void onmouseup I would use public void (transform newparent)?

I changed my script but now it doesn’t work instead the cube just flys away and has no gravity when I test it

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class pickup : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform theDest;
    public GameObject player;
    void OnMouseDown(Transform Tempparent)
    {
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().freezeRotation = false;
        this.transform.position = theDest.position;
        player.transform.SetParent(Tempparent);
    }
    void OnMouseUp(Transform Tempparent)
    {
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = true;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().freezeRotation = true;
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = true;
        player.transform.SetParent(Tempparent, false);
    }
}
