This does not look normal to me.

3000 connections to a parent is a huge amount and should in principle only
be seen if your proxy is processing more than 3000 concurrent requests
which I doubt is the case.

But there is one Squid-2.5 patch published yesterday which may help you if
you have clients doing a lot of POST requests. See
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/

Another thing you can try is to disable the server-side persistent
connections. If you have a parent proxy with fast connectivity between
your proxy and the parent the benefit of server-side persistent
connections is quite small.
