How friend groups navigate different parenting boundaries during mixed family gatherings

Our friend group all has kids around the same age and we're starting to notice that some of our 3-5 year olds use language and play styles that make other parents uncomfortable, but no one wants to be the first to say anything. We keep having these awkward moments during gatherings where someone's kid does something boundary-crossing and we all just look at each other not knowing whose job it is to address it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community of friends is struggling with the unspoken tension between maintaining adult friendships and addressing children's behavior that crosses different families' boundaries.
