I've never tried to hide it from my daughter. ( she is 20 now) I tried not to smoke in front of her, but sometimes she would just show up. I feel like you have to "lie" about your true self in public all day long. I did not want to lie in my house. I felt at home I had every right to be "me".
I simply explained to her it was my choice as an adult to smoke pot. I explained some people are really against it, but these same people drink alcohol like theres no tomorrow( I RARELY drink). She could certainly tell my behavior was "better" than her friends moms that drank. I was happier, more patient, more fun!
Of, course, since I never hid it from her I never had to deal with her "finding" out.
My husband is also a big pot head, so I didn't EVEN have to hide it from him.(except to keep him from smoking too much).
Good luck with your problem.
happiestmferoutthere Reviewed by happiestmferoutthere on . Parenting Teenagers - I'm Busted! I have always hidden my cannabis smoking from my kids for obvious legal reasons and because I don't want them smoking as adolescents as I did. I recently became too relaxed and smoked in our home and my step-son (17) has told his mom that he smelled marijuana a number of times (My wife of nearly two years is not happy with my cannabis use as I kept it hiddent from her - a post for another day). I'm busted and I am trying to figure out the best way to handle it: Never smoke in the house again; Rating: 5
