Others, including Bruce Cobern, have stated that there is NO SUCH rule.

As Bruce said, if the SM wishes to assign a parent as his son's mb
counselor, he is free to do so. If does NOT want to do so, that's his
choice also.

The exact rule, from _Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures_
(#33088B) - Page 10, is as follows:

        There is no limit on the number of merit badges a Scout may earn
        from one counselor.

        An aproved merit badge counselor may counsel any Scout,
        including his or her own son, ward, or relative.

Is it a good idea to assign a parent as a counselor? Probably not. Is
it permitted? YES.
