As everyone knows, children repeat what they hear, everyone but Bristol Palin?

“I’m doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp,” Bristol admits on her Lifetime reality show, Life’s a Tripp.

Yes Bristol, giggling when Trip says the word “fa##ot,” is probably not the best way to let him know it’s not an acceptable word.

Tripp was in the middle of a tantrum that was caused by Bristol saying he couldn’t go swimming, prompting him to call Willow Palin, Bristol’s sister, the homophobic slur.

As you know, young children frequently repeat words they hear their parents say.

I wonder where Trip heard that word?

Bristol and Willow are the daughters of the politician turned reality-television star Sarah Palin.

This isn’t the first time the Palin family has been criticized for their anti-gay remarks.

A man who was featured on Bristol’s show filed a lawsuit last month claiming defamation and invasion of privacy.
