You're welcome, but I'm not following how you end up with 'unbalanced
amounts' or what it is you are referring to in that regard.
The balancing of your accounts is independent, and forced upon every
entry by GnuCash. (GnuCash won't let your books be 'unbalanced', though
it will happily let you make them 'incorrect')
The 'correctness' of those entries is what Reconciliation should confirm
or expose errors to fix. (most likely missing transactions, but
sometimes transposed digits)
Placing those accounts under a parent and reconciling together only
facilitates reconciliation *if* the charges for each account are *mixed*
together on a single statement with a common starting and ending balance.
If the statement shows separate starting and ending balances for each
account, with separate lists of charges, payments, et cetera, then you
should reconcile them separately as if you were given two entirely
separate documents as 'statements'.
Paying the balance is entirely a separate function from the act of
reconciliation. (pay no mind to the GnuCash 'convenience' of entering a
payment when you reconcile, that is not a requirement of reconciliation)
Regards,
Adrien

@Adrien,
Thanks, this seems like the best solution. It looks funny to leave the
unbalanced amounts in all 3 accounts (2 credit card and one parent
account), but reconciliation works and generates the correct payment
from the bank account.
