Am I a bad parent for saying 'dumbass' in front of my kids? I'm told I am

I am a Bad Parent.I know this because a Good Parent told me."I need to talk to you about something, and I don't want you to take offense. Okay?" he said to me, in a hushed voice. I looked around. We were alone. "You know how we were over for dinner the other day, and you called someone a dumbass?""I called Donald Trump a dumbass," I said. "But only because he is.""Well, yesterday, my son was in the playroom, and I heard him call one of his toy trucks a dumbass."He then pursed his lips and stared at me with a look of shock. Because this was my fault.I suppose I could have been a bigger man at that point. I suppose I could have chosen to nod, smile, say I will keep that in mind. I guess I'm just not built like that."Did you talk to him?" I asked. "I mean, he should never call a truck a dumbass."He nodded. "I know. We had a long discussion. I said --""Because," I said, still demonstrating that concern was figuratively bubbling out of my pores, "a truck is an inanimate object.""What does that have to do--""Maybe he was calling the driver of the toy truck a dumbass? That would make more sense.""I think you're missing the--""What exactly did the driver of the truck do, anyway?""What? Nothing. I mean -""Nothing? Really? Okay, maybe you need to teach your kid about context. Did you cover that in your discussion?"Actually, this went on for a little bit more because, as most Good Parents are, he was oblivious to sarcasm. But we were interrupted by his wife, who came out of the john. Judging by the look on her face as she said it was time to leave, I think this whole thing was orchestrated by her. I'll cough, and excuse myself to go to the bathroom. That's when you confront him and his potty mouth. Or else she was  constipated. They make equal sense.That was how we left it, with the hanging accusation that my sailor's mouth had somehow perverted their darling boy.  Myself, I looked at it differently: The kid is in for a rough ride, if his parents are having apoplectic convulsions over the word 'dumbass.' I asked my wife if she agreed with me."Fuck yeah," she said. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2o4bC7C
