old hippie with 14 year daughter

parents, u dont have to smoke with your kids but if they do be cool about it. i know my parents would kill me if they found out I smoked especially my dad because he's set on me playing baseball in college. It just causes so much stress on me to try to find a good time and place to do it and just drives a wedge between me and my parents.

I would definitely also want to wait until my kid is about 15 or 16 to even start thinking about that stuff. Around that age, if I ever found them smoking or got hints of it, I'd sit them down and just ask. And if they said yes...I'd lay down some basic rules, and pull out a fat hooter.

My best friend smokes with his teenage daughters.He has been for several years now.His oldest used to roll his joints for him when she was like 8.If you smoke there is no reason to be a hypocrite around your kids.One thing to forbid them to smoke until they are an adult but entirely another to hide the fact that YOU DO smoke.Children learn by example anyway,not by what they hear.

Me, my sister, her husband, and my uncle use 2 roll smoke all the time. Now its just me and my uncle. I'm suspect that 1 of my parents smoke, always finding a roach, in little cubby holes around the place. lol.

Once my brothers ex girlfriend asked me whether I wanted some truffels that would make me giggle...haha I was like 10 at the time (note, this is the reason why shes an ex) Anyways, i ate like 10 truffels (i was really overweight then too by the way!) and got so stoned!! My bro knew as soon as she dropped me off home that i was stoned and he dumped her as soon as i told him bout the truffels!

Looking back now, it kinda makes me laugh, but also pisses me off that she got a 10 year old stoned.

Anyways...would I smoke weed with my kids...hmmm, as long as they were 17 then probably but my fiance is really against drugs so would have to do it behind his back. But thinking about it now, would love to see my mum stoned lol

It's probably best to keep it completely away from them up until they start asking questions themselves. (Or when you as a parent notice those recognizable cute red-eyes )

im 20 now and i smoked with my dad once or twice a couple years ago.but all through my teenage years he was really cool about what i did and was into.he explained very clearly all the drugs and crazy shit hed done when he was my age and toled me he sincerely didnt want me to do this drug or that.and he toled me what was cool.then he toled me why and all the consequenses and things to expect with each drug or drinkin or smoking.he always encouraged me to be open with him about whatever i was doing.he brought me up knowing that he couldnt stop me from doing crazy things but he could educate me on how tough it can be and whats what.as an outcome i never tried anything other than drinking and smoking and never either in abundance for two reasons.my dad did a good job of exlaining the why and also for him telling me everything hes done and how it effected him i wouldnt do more than that out of respect for him...just be honest with your doughter let her know whats ok and why and the why nots.lt her know that she should never be afriad to ask u for help or tell you anything and u cant go wrong...zz

That is so true...shouting and screaming and just saying 'dont do this!!' is not a good way to go. Outlining the reasons why is excellent in educating young minds right from wrong.

My mum would just say 'drugs are bad' so as a result i wanted to try them all to see what the big deal was about...but thank god i never got my hands on anything harming!

i smoked with my dad a dozen time but i started at 16 so maybe 14 is a lil young but if you think she is mature enough well go on there is nothing better to get closer to her!
