ok guys, I'm glad you asked.... I've been going round and round with this in my head for a couple of weeks... I have a fifteen yr. old daughter and I've always encouraged her to just talk to me before she tries anything (smoking, drinking, sex) out of fear of her getting into something she can't handle. In fact, I'm the one who offered her a puff one night I sensed she was nervous about something major.. So she pretty much tells me all about her evenings with her friends, but I have told her if I feel her grades or ambitions are not up to par she will see the uncool side of me. Kids are gonna do what they gotta do.. on the other hand, if your parents cannot accept it you will not change their minds... some people truly believe pot will screw you up... who knows they my be right.... Some people tell me I am wrong and that I need to set boundries or limits, i do, but i have to be realistic, and it really eases my mind knowing where she is who she's with and what they're up to... they never hesitate to call me if they need a ride or just need me , My daughter knows the one thing that will get her grounded is if she gets in a car with someone that has been drinking or lacking good judgement.... Am I an enabler? some would say yes... Being a parent is a huge responsibility and there are no guaranties on the outcome, just remember most parents love their kids so much that it's a constant struggle hoping they're doing the right thing, but never knowing for sure.
peace,
