parenting opinions

being said:
Everything a parent does sets an example for the kids. I believe those kids are much more likely to start smoking/(ab)using some other intoxicants one day also. Would not recommend a parent to smoke at all.
The best way to raise (influence) kids is to set a 'good' example with ones own behavior.

This is implying that drug use is bad.. gtfo :p
 
captian.heroin, the issue isn't just getting high in front of your child it's being high in front of your child and the example that you're setting while high. People don't make the same choices they would sober when they're high. Children can also tell when you're inebriated.

ugly, nicely put.

The shits inexcusable IMO.

Smokin weed as a parent? Ok, that can work in some situations if you really do it with respect and are ultra careful about it.

But just smokin up in front of the kid? No fuckin way!

Would you smoke cigarettes in front of your kid? (I wouldnt...I dont want that shit goin nowhere near the lungs of my sweet innocent clean lunged lil baby.) I quit smokin when i found out i was pregnant anyways but the point is the same.

The difference of smoking and drinking in front of the kid is that alcohol dont get on the kid, the kid cant breathe in the alcohol by you drinking it, the kid dont smell like alcohol from you drinkin a glass of wine, etc. The weed smoke gets in their face they breathe it in it gets on their clothes, etc.

As far as im concerned there just aint no fuckin reason to do it. Why? Why cant you just smoke in another room?

I aint against parents usin drugs as long as its safe moderated responsible and very careful and the kids needs ALWAYS come first no matter wat.

but to do it in FRONT of your kid is just mad disrespectful to your child IMO.

If your kids like 17 and they already smoke ok thats one thing.

But we talkin young kids here, babies, toddlers, 10 year olds, etc, no fuckin way.

When you a parent your l ife changes whether you like it or not.

As unfair as it is that weed is illegal...as good as weed is....as wonderful of a substance as it is that we should all respect and as much as it dont deserve all the bad reputation it got--the fact is, it DOES get seen that way by the people in charge.

As much as you SHOULD be able to be a parent and smoke in the house or w/ever, the law says you cant.

When you break it you take a risk of losing your kid.

Is it more important to be able to smoke in front of your child becuz "We should be allowed to becuz weed shouldnt be illegal!!!!" or to do it in a discreet moderate way away from your child so that you can be safe knowing that your kids aint gettin put in foster care cuz somebody called the cops on you and they find you smokin a L in front of your 2 year old.

Seriously yall its about fuckin priorities.

As a parent the kid is number one. drugs gotta be second as much as they shouldnt have to be seen as a 'bad'thing thats how the law sees them. if you would rather 'make a point' about weed being OK and not bein bad and bla bla bla, than look out for the welfare of your kid then just stick to smokin weed and leave the parenting to the people who can put their needs second.real talk.
 
^ Agreed. I'm not sure that there is a universal age that makes it "O.K" to smoke weed... just depends on the kid's maturity level, how much they have already been exposed to it, etc.

I think it's important that parents don't pass along the lacksidasical lifestyle that can (but not always) come with smoking weed. I don't think it's right for a kid to see their parents just sittin around on their asses all day, getting blazed and eating nothing but Lucky Charms and fast-food. If the parent teaches\demonstrates a responsible lifestyle (doing well in school, having a job, being responsible with money, taking good care of your health, etc.) and they also just happen to smoke weed sometimes, thats totally different.
 
In my opinion, ideally you shouldn't smoke anything in front of your child since you don't want to expose them to second hand smoke. But given that drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes in front of children is somewhat socially acceptable, I'd say it's something to be looked down upon, but not horribly shocking, kind of like drinking/smoking cigs around your children.
 
ThaiDie, but not just you , since there is a few people in here who seemed to miss the wording of the OP and answered about whether or not its cool for parents to be weed smokers, I just wanted to point one thing out.....the question here aint "Is it cool to be a parent who smokes weed" Its about smoking weed IN FRONT OF your kids.

thats a whole completely different thing....
 
My parents drank and smoked cigarettes in front of me (moms addicted to cigs) from probably as far back as i can really remember, like 11 years old but i know they did it before that. I personally never felt influenced by them and wanted to stay away from tobacco and alcohol for a long time. I'd even rag on em about it. My choice to try stuff was my own, no one ever forced me to be honest. I chose to try what I've done.

But regardless, when they're little i wouldn't smoke in front of them, I'd want to be alert so I'd know what to do if anything happened.
 
I wouldn't do it in front of my kids (if I had any), nor would I do it WITH them. But it's not that different from getting shitfaced on alcohol or chainsmoking cigs in front of kids, which parents rarely catch heat for. If it was legal, maybe I wouldn't have a problem with it. But it's not.
 
I wouldn't purposely use drugs in front of my child, just because I wouldn't want to give them the impression that it's okay to do. Not that drugs AREN'T okay to do, but I wouldn't want to influence my kid. If he/she ends up trying drugs on their own, then heck, that's life and I'd tell them to be very careful with what substances they use, because getting into the more "harder" drugs, will most likely (not always) lead to some kind of problem down the road. Of course if my kid is like me he/she probably wouldn't listen to that advice, as I know I didn't when my dad told me the same thing 7 years ago. But whatever, dunno where I was going with this.

I wouldn't smoke weed with my kid in the same room, unless of course they were old enough and smoked weed by their own choice.

I know parents that hotbox their care with their 4 yr old in it, kinda messed up.

Ah, thank you for pointing this out Lacey... you are right, I did read over the OP a bit too hastily :\ In that case, I'd say it's not the best idea, at least not until your kids are 18 or older and out of the house and can make their own decisions. Even then, if your 18 year old is off at college or whatever and is perfectly ignorant to smoking weed, then why introduce them to it if they don't have any desire to do it? But if I knew my kid was off on their own, doing it anyway, then why not light up with them?? haha.
 
When (if) I have kids, Im going to educate them properly about drugs. Not just the dangers, but also their positive effects and harm reduction. I will ban them from doing drugs when out socially, but I will allow them to try things at home, under my supervision.

Rightt because they will listen to you when you "ban" them from doing drugs..great idea

What in the world makes you think your kids will listen to you?? Be realistic.
 
I have seen my father smoke marijuana all of my life, and I honestly don't advise smoking in front of your kids. It did a lot of damage to me when I was young, however once I was 14 years old I still ended up smoking. I'm sure I was predisposed to this because of seeing my dad smoke all the time. I do remember that my dad was hardly present in my childhood at all, and he even admits he was too busy getting stoned.

This. LOL. I love, love love it when people on here be like "Well listen here, when Im a parent, its gonna be like this! I wont let my kid do this that and the third, and they will only be allowed to do ______ if all their homework is done first. They aint allowed to smoke weed til they are 16 and if they want to do any other drugs, they have to ask my permission first and I will get it for them so they dont get in trouble and they can only do it if they get it from me so i can be sure its a safe source...." and etc.

Yall all think like "Ima be the cool dad who lets his kids smoke and do drugs responsibly!" But you just doin the same shit your folks did with the rules except this time the rules are about drugs instead of how long you can watch TV for or your curfew.

It always gives me a good laugh to read these. You think that if you let a kid do a lil bit of something they want to do theyll just listen to you all the time out of total respect and adoration?

Anyways this thread aint about that but Im glad to see I aint the only one who laughs at the posters with the "drug rules" for their future kids and think that it will so totally work.

Back to the topic of the thread....
 
Some of the best parents I know blaze.

Personally I find watching kids shows with kids is awesome while high.

Like anything if not used responsibly it will result in poor parenting, but given education and personal resonsibility are achivable, being a parent who smokes is way better than the parent who drinks.
