Any smokers with kids?

[mikomomma]

We have a few friends with kids who smoke, but most of our friends our single guys. Our daughter is still very young, but she won't be forever. We have tried to create a balance of not rubbing it in, but not being ashamed. We will never lie to our kids about it. I just wondered if any of you guys are married with kids and how you choose balance both.

I imagine you're not saying you have friends with kids who smoke right? Well, that's what ya said lol but I think i know what you mean. Their kids don't smoke, but your friends do right?

I have friends that are married and have children, they're still about 4 and 6 years old so they don't know but my friends will only smoke around them when they're in their rooms ready for bed. Even then if they have to use the bathroom or something they'll quickly spray ozium before they come down.

We would never smoke in front of the kids or in the car with them, etc.

On the other hand I know some people who not only smoke pot and cigarettes around their young kids (I've meet several people that do this) but they also swear at their kids and make their kids cry and then make them cry worse, etc. Very bad white trash parents.

I knew another couple who would smoke this huge bong or whatever they wanted to smoke around their kids, and one time my other friend asked the guy if he had any papers, and the little girl who was listening ripped off a little piece of notebook paper and brought it to her because she didn't know that she meant rolling paper, she thought she wanted paper. Just a random thought I guess.

What I would do is not smoke around the kids, and yes don't lie, but make sure they understand that it's not a rebellious thing to do, and make sure they understand that you can get into trouble and that no one must know about this.

Well all I know is that I grew up around weed my whole life, and look at what website I'm posting at If you really don't want your kids getting into drugs it's good to keep them taboo from a very young age.

I meant finding a balace between them learning about its benefits without us disregarding the law and then trying to inforce it later. We are pretty active in trying to get marijuana legal. We took our daughter to hempfest for the last two years. Next year she will be too old (3). It isn't about the smoking it is more about the confusion of the laws and right and wrong.

How do I look at your website? Do you consider your being around it a good thing or a bad thing? I don't care if my daughter smokes weed. I care why she smokes weed.

My parents smoked weed around me all the time when I was little kid. I mean, they'd bust out a bong in the living room while we were watching a movie, and I remember seeing the roach clips with roaches going around. I always thought they were mini scissors. But, that was about... 7 or 8 years ago... I dunno, after we moved out of our old house, and into this other one, they stopped smoking around me, and always did it in there room. And I guess they think I have no clue now. But I still remember my dad's red foot long bong. And my dad still smokes, I know for a fact. He dropped his baggie with about half an OZ on my head while I was still half asleep but halk awake one morning on the couch. And I also find little stems and seeds in his car. I'm just waiting for him to confront me about smoking before I say anything.

Yeah, i don't see me or my husband doing that. I try to have the entire lifestyle so that i am not a hippocrit (bad spelling). WE are very healthy people who eat well and don't use any other drugs. Including over the counter.

I believe you should not teach complete and blind obediance to the law. Skepticism and doubts regarding moral are what keep laws and morals evolving into better and better. And if you always obeyed the law, you would never smoke weed. In fact, you would betray all your weedy friends and bust them to the police.
Correct me if im wrong, but democracy was born due to disobediance(but the government of England sort of had promised voting rights...)...I dont know what im talking about, haha.

Anyway, i believe that with drugs you need to be very two-sided. You need to realize the comments of people who are like "weed will make you kill your mother", and on the other hand you need to realize the comments of people who are like "ive been doing cocaine daily for 20 years and im in a good shape, drug laws are bullshit!".
