seriously...

[fil lif]

serious question now folks...

I'm 21 and had been living away from my parental home for 3 years, and for various reasons, I had to move back in about 6 months ago...

Recently my mum has been going on about how much I stink of smoke (she knows I smoke cigs), but only after i've smoked weed the night before.

The mature part of me suggests that i should just let her know that I smoke weed, and the other part of me thinks I shouldn't bother, as I start a new job next month, and am planning to move back out as soon as my first month's pay comes in.

My mum is vegetarian, swims twice a week, runs at least 3 times a week, cycles a lot, etc, and doesn't smoke or drink booze.

The honest part of me wants to tell her, but how worth the hassle is it?

Serious question, but some comedy answers could cheer me up too, so.....
go...........

It's not worth the hassle and your mom doesn't deserve that kind of grief in her life. We never tell our parents everything about us and trust me, they don't want to know.

I can't see her punishing you for saying that you smoke herb. Especially, since she's already lost you, once. If she wants to find out, she, probably, will.

Tough question... my Mom was sort of the same way. If you can tell her and at same time convince her that it's not a negative thing then go for it. If you can't I'd say to keep it from her. Not only is it not worth the hassle - but you don't want to hurt her either. I know it might feel good to get off your chest but not at the price of hurting her or changing the way she thinks of you. It's cool if a stranger or a friend doesn't agree with me or my lifestyle, fuck em... but family is a different story. It doesn't matter how hard to try to explain your point... some people just wont understand. If you don't think your mom will understand maybe it's best not to tell her.

What she doesn't know can't hurt her. My mom doesn't know I smoke and she doesn't think I know she smokes. HA! How's that for honesty? :p I think we're both happier this way...

whenever my parents have given me shit about weed and especially the money back in the day, i would just think about all the $$$ i save not buying alcohol & coke with that wasted weed money. That and (hopefully) being baked at the time made me agreeable and their shit just bounced off better:D

I would have to know you an your mom to beable to give you an honest answer, but i dont. I would go with a " need to know" basis... If nothing good will come from it, leave it be.

if ure begining a job soon, and planning on moving out, then why even bother? even if it doesn't cause any hassle, why take the risk of hassle when u cud just keep smokin in secret? jus silence the naggin voice in the back of ure head for a few months until u have ure own place, then tell her if its pissin u off that much. Unless the only reason ure leavin is cuz u can't smoke weed in the house, and for that try and secure a flat or apartment, and tell her then. She flips, you leave, she accepts you stay :D
