Right? That's why the kid says it in the first place because every time they do it they get positive reinforcement. It is the definition of shitty parenting
Shitty parenting - Both parents dressing up with their kids to go to a party as a family. Kids do something a little bit naughty and they're shitty parents because they laugh?
Idk, seems to me like parents are humans, and parents are allowed to laugh at the outrageous things kids say sometimes.
It's a Christmas party, and the dad probably gave them a pass to say it because it's a special occasion.
Hell, my parents even let me drink some alcohol on certain occasions as a kid. Parents don't have to be miserable old farts all of the time to be good parents.
In fact, I'd say it's good parenting to let your kids break rules sometimes. Let them have some fun.
We're both making assumptions. You're assuming that the parents were in on it. I'm assuming the kid hears it all the time and repeats it with no recriminations, plus positive reinforcement. If I'm right, shitty parenting. If you are right, awesome. I totally get that the world is not black and white.

I find kids dropping F-bombs tough to laugh about but the laugh is amazing.
