Have raised two kids...well 3. Never did drugs till they were like 14? until they were old enough to know better and it was engrained in their minds
that includes no smoking or drinking of any kind
I hid it from them when I did start partying again for awhile...
my parents were abusive alcoholics
my mom a stay at home mom, depressed and abusive and ALWAYS DRUNK puking....it was soo nasty. I hated her. My dad...lets not even go into it.
I just didn't want that for them.
Thinking my partying AT ALL with them knowing was bad at this point as one is a under achiever now with a penchant for goth clubs and drinking all the sudden. She quit school ect...ect...she comes to me one day and says she has rockstar dreams (we tried this already at age 15)
And understands why I like the clubs and partying now. Oh great, wonderful. But she says she won't stick me with the student loan bill.
Just stop for their sake, they did not ask for this.
Its only till they grow up...and keep it private.
