dunno if this is the right forum for it.. but.. who cares! And on a more serious note.. would you still do drugs (at the same frequency you do it now) when you have kids?
if my kids at my age, want a hoot, Ill be glad to help em out, as long as they dont say anything and are smart enough to stay out of trouble.
Every friend I had growing up that had parents who did drugs or were alcoholics, and let their kids know about it, had some issues. I personally believe you should cut that shit out when you have your kids, and when they move out than you go back to what you did before, maybe alittle mush trip here and there in between. My parents never lied, they told me about their acid and shroom trips, said it was a damn good time, so when they told me to stay away from shit like coke and heroin I listened.
yah, my parents are like natural shit only.. and for the most part i have listened... no coke or h for me!
luckys. neither of my parents were interesting in their youth. My mom was an avid clubgoer, but drugs- neither of them would ever admit to any of that, even f they did do it.
It all comes down to which is more important.. your kids or your drugs There is going to be a point where if you honestly bond with your child that you would rather watch them grow up than spend an evening away trippin balls. While you're gone the only thing you're going to be able to think about is your kids and it's going to fuck with your trip. There is going to be a point when you're too high to go deal with straight people..and that'll be the time the baby develops a 105 fever and you need to rush her to the hospital. You'll face the fears of having you kid taken away by the idiots there just because you're high if you bring her, or her getting deathly ill if you don't. It will be real. You will probably care. It or something very similiar happens to most parents that do drugs or drink regularly. It's playing the odds. Eventually your number will come up. These things will be on your mind. If it turns out you care about your kids (not everyone does, some people don't bond..it's as natural not to as it is to do so). You'll suddenly care that the bong is where some ass do gooder can see it and call child services. You'll worry about all the smoke in the house aggrivating your precious childs asthma. Or you could always become a deadbeat parent, stay on tour, gatherings, etc and let your parents raise your kids...I've met hundreds of people that do exactly that. It's the lifestyle they've chosen, and it's probably better for the children than being constantly innindated with smoke seeping in through their bedroom doorcrack, or having mommy fall into the room and break down the door because she's just a little bit too drunk. Mommy means everything to kids, they worry about mommy, they trust mommy..drunk mommy is just plain terrifying to their little hearts. Grandparents make just as good parents. Like everything in life it's a choice. When your mind is wandering off in lala land your kids are going to know it. They're going to grow to understand that sometimes mommy isn't reliable, and that sometimes dinner is cheetos. Kids make it through lives like that every day. Would I chose for my kids to go through it? No. But then I made a choice, and I respect the choices of others. I'm not shoving parenthood down anyones throat. Some people make better potheads, spunions or crackheads than they ever will be as parents. We've all got to be something in life.
True that lama, thats basically what I was getting at but I was too lazy to type it out, and most people considering that they will be doing drugs the rest of their lives haven't matured yet. Don't have kids if your going to fuck around as a parent, that shit pisses me off.
I would d o it, but I wouldn't while the wife was pregnant and I would request the same from her but I would be truthful to my kids. We've all got to "turn on"
no no!! dude, don't hold anything back! if you tell your kids about your trip and stuff, it WILL be a BONDING experience!! believe ME... i've seen it! my parents were EXCATELY like that and now, im not afriad to tell them ANYTHING! my parents are ALWAYS here for me, and dont trip in bad situations or anything. its just when my parents are having a party and wan to have a good time, they want to have a GOOD time... so my mom says "hey.. i just took some shrooms, so don't freak out if im a little crazy okay?" same with dad... although he isnt into it as much... but dude, come on, parents always say "be truthful! be truthful! dont lie to us!" and stuff... but then they dont tell kids the whole truth... im GLAD my parents tell me stuff.. it makes me trust them a lot more, and i know about drugs and all of that. i know my boundaries and all of that... please! don't hold anything back!
^that is awesome. my parents don't use drugs anymore, but have in the past. they also know that i use drugs, though admittedly, they don't have any idea about how often or what kinds of drugs i'm using. they trust that i won't do anything stupid, or use substances that i consider dangerous.
