pot and parents.... (serious discussion)

do they get shitfaced often??? europe is a whole different situation, yes they drink, but penalties are often more harsh for someone who is caught drinking and driving in europe, here it is pretty much a slap on the hand. I think there are a hell of a lot more issues here with people who are drunk, than people who are drunk in europe....

 

Pregnancy at a young age does not mean the girl is irresponsible.

My grandma was 16 when she had my dad. She's one of the most amazing women I know these days. Yes, my grandpa was an alcoholic for a while - my dad's still a great guy, with just as many issues as someone who had a "normal" upbringing (no such thing really)

And yes, I'm just 19. I just lived on my own last year, living off of barely $7000 Canadian. I just got honours all through high school in an 'advanced' program, while working. I've just have been working nonstop since I was 16. I've just dealt with the death of relatives, and helped my friend flee her abusive family, and been the shoulder to cry on for every single one of my friends. I've just lived through two of my mom's divorces. I've just kept a healthy relationship with my biological father and step father. I've just raised the money on my own to go visit my grandparents who live in Oregon.

I just have a mother with whom I have a healthy relationship, 'despite' drinking with her.

 

So, the point of that story was?

 

I totally agree with this statement. I know a lot of kids that I used to hang out with, that smoked pot with their parents. Not one of these kids respected their parents at all. Actually, they all looked down on their parents. Maybe for other reasons as well, but I know that part of the reason is due to smoking pot with their kids. Why? Because they told me............

Being a parent of two kids and another on the way soon, I would NEVER smoke pot with them! I find it wrong on so many levels. I am their father and I am a role model to them. If I smoked pot with my kids, they would grow up not respecting me. If I smoked pot with my parents, I would not respect them at all! If you are a parent, you smoke pot on your own time, not when you are bonding and spending good quality time with your kids. Even when pot becomes legal in the future, I would not smoke pot with them. There is a time and a place for everything and there is NO TIME to smoke pot with your kids.

Be a parent not a friend........................

the penalties are much harsher, very true. But, I don't think that's necessarily the deterant for bad behavior amongst young people. I think parents take greater care in teaching their children to be responsible.

I've always thought that the legal drinking age in this country should come before the legal driving age. Not necessarily bars - I think those should be 21.

If I was the man at the wheel, making the rules, this is what I would put into law:

Legal drinking age: 14

Legal driving age: 18

Legal admittance into bars: 21

 

wow,pretty intense.but i sorta have to agree with m.c.,i dont think smoking pot with youre teens is a good idea at all.i think a parent has a responsibility to raise their kids to be responsible adults.ialso tend to think that nobody really "grows up" with any luck we keep growing.and i think its very important to stimulate growth...expand the mind with knowledge for truly that is freedom.if you are still young,i believe an education is everything,lets face it if youre all stoned what are you really doing with youre mind?i have smoked my fair share,ive done just about all of it.i found the best highs i ever had were natural,like making love wiyh someone you really love,or seeing a face light up when their dad or mom or someone special comes in the door...like the wonder on a childs face,shining for whatever the reason.those are the real highs,at least to me. i wish there was more of that in the world.we wouldnt need synthetic substances,be it pot,anti-depressants or what have you.love&light surround you all.audreyanne

 

fuck all you ppl. fuck all you ppl. fuck all you ppl. fuck all you ppl. fuck all you ppl. who think that parents should not smoke pot with there kids. I know plenty of people that had parents that smoked pot with them. they grew up just fine. with good jobs and good lifes. I want to get rid of you kind of ppl.

my parents were the greatest rolemodels they could be. and smoked pot with me and I turned out just fine. and I have a good job and life.

why won't you fuck off all ready!


all I sead is that I know some people that smoke with there parents and there all grown up and have a good job and life but still smoke with there parents.
there parents were very good rolemodels.

so just becouse you ppl's parents are squares dosen't meen that you ppl half to take it out on other ppl just becouse they smoke with there parents and say that if they do smoke with there parents they are losers. ok you fuckers.

 

I don't think anyone is taking anything out on anyone. Why are you so angry?

If your parents were very good rolemodels, where did all this anger develop from? I'm not putting your parents down. I don't even know them or you it just that all of your post is either telling someone to fuck off or your calling them an asshole.
