"¡Mi mama y mi poppa son bien padres!" ?

My friend put this as her status, and I told her it should be "padres bien," not "bien padres." Could we get some clarification on this?

Mi mama y mi poppa son bien padres. My mom and dad are really cool.

"Padre" can mean "cool" (I believe in Mexican slang, correct me if I'm wrong). So your friend might be saying that her parents are "bien padres," or quite cool!

"Bien padres" means "very cool" and is correct in that sense. If she meant "They are good parents", then that's when "They are good parents" is apt.

She is saying bien padres, because she wants to use a mexican dialect. Bien padres is like nice.

Mi mamá y mi papá son buenos padres. They are good parents.

If you want to say they are well off (rich) then can use "padres bien."
