Some words DO have more than one meaning. "Pride" being one of them.
You are accusing parents of being lofty/haughty.

By saying you are proud of them, you are committing sin because the Bible says that pride is sin. It doesn't matter that this wicked world attaches other meanings to the word "pride," it only matters what the Bible says about this concept called "pride." Be pleased and delighted but do not be proud.
