Everyone has a different face they put on for different roles. Having the luxury of being able to have roles in which you can relax, have fun, escape, etc., gives one the opportunity to see the "grownup" roles as just other faces. Turkle wrote about this years ago.
You're not really faking it, just putting on the right facade for the situation. Being able to laugh at one of them doesn't mean you treat it any less responsibly. (Parent is just one more role, of course.)
