User blog comment:AustinDR/Are Mr. and Mrs. Loud Bad Parents/@comment-1650307-20170804235046

They are bad parents. They frequently let the kids handle problems the hard way that could've easily been solved by disciplining their kids, like they could've easily stopped "Brawl in the Family" by saying "Lori... Leni... your both grounded until you learn to share the dress" and Bam! it would be a lot easier than going with all the "sister protocol" crap.

They also go along with Lincoln to see a potentially R-rated film "The Harvester" unironically in "The Price of Admission". You could argue that they do not intend on seeing the movie and only went because they knew Lincoln disobeyed them and saw the movie anyways and that he would've confessed before they actually saw the film because he would not want to see the movie again, but surprise surprise, they NEVER establish this. A simple "we know, Lincoln. We knew that you wouldn't see the movie again" at the end would've solved it.
