pot and parents.... (serious discussion)

that doesnt make it right, does it?? maybe she grew up too fast because her parents introduced drugs and alcohol to her at such a young age. doesnt make it right. doesnt make it right for kids to be having kids. and dont give me that "ready for parenthood" bullshit. I find it hard to believe that any kid in high school or fresh out of high school is ready for parenthood....... most of them cant even pay their student loans or insurance on their vehicles, and yet they are ready to have a baby?? ha!

 

You think its wrong that my family likes to get a buzz on watching the Sox play? Never once did my parents allow me to drink before age 21 in their house. After that, if mom and dad were gettin' tipsy, my brother and I were right there with them. I honestly don't see the problem in it at all when the kids are adults. When they are kids sure, they shouldn't go there, but when their kids are grown and show that they are responsible adults, I honestly don't see a problem with either.

 

sure, Im not saying anything about kids of legal age. Im talking about teenagers here. teens mind you.... and then they are having babies at a young age, and they always give you the same "ready for parenthood" bullshit. only time will tell.

 

I think he was talking about drinking with them when they are kids...not drinking with their kids. As long as their child is of age, there is no reason why they can't enjoy a beer or two with their parents.

 

I've smoked with my dad before. It was no big deal.

I don't think it's right for teenagers to smoke with their parents, though.

 

Oh, I agree. I personally don't feel that anyone under the age of 25 should be having children, but that's my opinion based upon the rates of so many broken families when taking on too much at such a young age. There are exceptions of course. I've known girls who had a child at a young age and have become wonderful mothers and boys becoming wonderful fathers, but the cards are stacked against them for sure.

 

Your WAY to judgemental I may be a "teenager" but I have raised 3 obediant and good kids!!!!!!!! I not only have experience, intelligence, knowlegde and wisdom but I also have common sense on what goes on in the world outside of my house and politics. I have been there done that and some. So before you EVEN judge me or any one else again just think about this would you rather have you childl go out not knowin jack shit about the streets and get offered a drug that they never heard of and they take it and it ends up to be ice, crack, or whatever and a few hours later you get a call from the hospital cuz they were raped and beaten all because they didn't have they didn't get the choice of being able to be open about drugs with you, and they didnt have the knowledge or the security of being able to talk to your ignorant ass about what certain drugs are??????
So dont judge me because of my age you dont know what the fuck i have been through. Look at your life and figure out where you went wrong as a parent and why your so damn insecure abaout being open minded.

 

Do you think you would have gone through nearly as much in your life had you not gotten yourself invovled in drugs/drinking/whatever it is you're talking about here? It's an honest question.

 

woah woah woah woah..........

you raised 3 kids??????????? so you are saying this one you are having right now isnt your first?? and you are 19?? I hope you arent serious, because if you are, this really furthers my cause here. and I AM being openminded here. Im probably more openminded than more than half of you people. alot of you are set on your "liberal" ways.

Im sorry, but you are so wrong. letting your child get into drugs doesnt solve anything. your child will be a rebel, whether you like it or not. and they will do something you will not agree with, trust me on this.

 

Do you think I am a liberal, Burnz?

 

well with some of your conspiracy theories, maybe........

but you have expressed opinions over the years that made me think otherwise..... to me, I think you are probably more conservative than liberal.

 

I would have gone through ALOT more in life if I didnt do drugs and drink. I honestly would have killed myself or ended up in a nuthouse if I didn't turn to drugs. even my psychiatrists couldn't help me with anything.

I have raised 3 kids but they are not my own flesh and blood. they are my younger sister and my two nephews.

 

oh good god......... turning to drugs doesnt help anyone. that is such a cop out.

and why did you have to raise your younger sister?? where are/were your parents??

 

I could also say that I raised 4 kids too by the age of 18, because I was the oldest, and I helped "raise" my brothers, but do you think it would be right of me to knock up some girl because I had younger brothers??? come on.

 

ok ok....... the more you talk, the more it shows what kind of issues you have. drugs helped you from killing yourself??? thats the point of drugs, my friend. they create the illusion that they are helping you, when in all actuality they arent. and with your parents letting you smoke and drink with them at such an early age didnt help out matters either. you are just proving my cause here.

and how and why did you "raise" your niece and nephew?? just changing an occassional diaper and giving them a bottle isnt really considered "raising" a child.

 

it's not wrong. i hardly smoke but i smoked with my dad once... he supplied. as long as the kids are mature enough (i was 23), what is the big deal?

 

Im talking about parents smoking and drinking with their teenagers. it leads to abnormal behaviour, get it?

 

Not true my man, sobriety is a crutch for those who can't handle drugs

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good one dhs

 

well to make a long story short my older sister couldn't take care of her kids due to a few problems in her life. After things got back to normal for her I had to give my nephews back.
My younger sister is my half sister and my mom remarried to a complete asshole. He wouldn't let her work, take car of the house or even their child. He abused me and my mother physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually. So I had to take care of my newborn sister, nephew/s, by taking care and raising them I mean I taught them how to walk, talk, eat I was there when they took their first steps, said their first words, I bought their clothes, food and necessities. I was the one they called mommy but I corrected them, I was the person that was there for them when they got a boo boo I was the person to take them to ge their hair cut I was the person who put cornrows in their hair I was the person that disciplined them .

the second comment makes absolutely no sense at all. Sure my pregnancy was unplanned BUT it doesn't make me an irresponsible person. We got pregnant for a reason. And that reason is GOD said that we are ready to have a child. Plaine and simple..
