I have 15 1/2 and 17 year old daughters who live with me. I want them to pass the Vodka and Budlight up at their parties and hit the bong or blunt whichever comes by first. I haven't ever smoked with the girls but I've partook with my older four children 19, 21, 25 and 28. Wow.. I know. I feel like a hypocrite smoking behind my daughters back when we are all at home. So parents and nonparents what say you alll????
I have tons of freinds who have always smoked in front of theirs. I mean from the day they were born till the day they moved out on their own. Alot of them, (the kids) while growing up didn't drink or do drugs at all, and still don't as adults. I say puff away! Let them know how "You" feel about it. And keep bad mouth'n that fuck'n alcohol!
Eh yea "Herb is the healing of a nation and alcohol is it's destruction" B. Marley Entangled in madness, huh ?
I have three kids...A Son 27-Another Son 19 and a Daughter 17. Since they were born I have not hid smoking herb from any of them. They all know that if their choice is to get high I have no probelm with it as long as they take care of what they are supposed to be doing school or work etc. None of them get high or even drink. I think a lot of that is because it's not a big deal in our family. We were more upset when my oldest son came home from HS saying he wanted to join ROTC.
When my 2 older kids were young I smoked in front of them; but never with them until they were adults; however when their mom & I split up she raised them in a house hold where they all did drugs. I was against that...And now they both have real drug problems~and don't mean weed. My youngest daughter that I had with my 2nd wife...I never smoked in front of her and always hid it. Her mother split and left her with me when she was 9. I caught her smokin when she was 16. After a long, long discussion about weed vs. booze, keeping up with your studies, chores, etc...I didn't say anything else about it as long as she didn't screw up because of it. I still didn't smoke with her even though she told all her friend's I got high and she and her friend's begged me to. When she turned 18 and left home I then fired up a big one with her. She didn't follow in her siblings footsteps. Thank goodness
My first wife and I would fire up every day right after dinner while the kids watched tv,no big deal.They found it to be norml in our house.Neither one does drugs.An occasional cocktail once in awhile is it for them.They are in their 30's now,and doing well.Peace
Appreciate your experiences. I posted "smokin dope with parents on the young hippies forum and the responses are good too. alot more tho.
Maybe you'd want a son's prospective? I have smoked with my mom before and it allowed me to enjoy herb more. Before I was sitting in my bathroom, quiet as a mouse, trying to keep the bubbling down but one day she just walked in, asked me if I smoke...and being an honsesty first house hold I said yes. She told me that as long as I don't leave the house, let my studies get away from me, or get fired she was ok with me smoking. She personally doesn't use on a regular basis, but I have gotten her to light up a few times with me. It allowed me to not have the fear of being caught and opened up art to me. I didn't have to hide my "different" style of art anymore and could get high and paint in the basement vrs. bathroom. I'd go for it, if they currently use it will allow them to enjoy it even more, if they are not using maybe knowing you are ok with it will make them less scared of trying it and atleast give it a shot. i don't know where you stand but smoking my first bowl was the turning point in my life. Peace and good luck to you, Al
