So am I kids dad and I were talking about this the other day and we kind of got into a little disagreement about it obviously our kids are super young so you won't have to worry about this until a very long time but it's also need to talk about and to think about him he was saying how he would not like our kids to but we agreed that we would not like them to like drink or do any kind of recreational stuff without us knowing about it obviously but he was saying how he would rather them do it in the house then do it outside which I mean I get obvious I wouldn't like them to do it at all Not that I completely disagree with like drinking and stuff because we all know it's gonna happen and I did it when I was younger obviously I didn't really I wasn't really into that scene of like just like drinking and partying like that really when I was young but I didn't do it you know when I was under age so what do you guys think what did you what would you do with your kids how do you go about this topic I don't even know what to think about it honestly I don't really have an opinion so far because I think they're just so young and so like I don't really even wanna think about it because even thinking about it stresses me out because I just don't wanna have to deal with that but I know it's going to come eventually I am as it does with all of us so what would you do let me know your thoughts
It was always about creating a safe and firemen for my kids when the opportunity presents after them in the real world always told him bring it today and I'm saying you want to drink you wanna see me that's like come today and we
Come to dad, but no friends allowed. It was try at once and then they didn't have to worry about the peer pressure of friends out in the real world, pressure in the minute making a bad decision. in the wrong circumstance and in the wrong.
See you thing is though is that I would much rather much much rather have my kids never drink and smoke but if it ends up happening and I know for a fact that they're drinking and smoking I would rather have them do it at my house than somewhere else safe so I believe they should be able to
But I definitely believe that they should not ever have any friends over drinking and smoking simply because friends definitely influence the fact that they will do it more and it's not gonna be an often basis I realize it or doing it too much I'm taking with alcohol
And if it becomes a literal problem I'm not afraid of taking him to some sort of rehab for drinking and along lines that I just want to be safe I want them to not hurt themselves and yeah
Wouldn't like it if they picked up those habits, but I understand that it's, you know, it's common and it happens as long as they don't abuse it. I don't mind if they do it in my house as long as it's of age.
My boyfriend and I both have people from when we were into those habits that, you know, stayed in those habits and never came out of them and have gotten much worse than them. And just because you don't do it in your house doesn't mean that your kid's not, you know.
Indulging in all of those habits in a dangerous amount or in an irresponsible amount. So because it's not happening in your house, doesn't mean it's not happening. and knowing that it's happening is better because then you can at least try to help them.
Knowing when I do my kids and they're going to do it they call us do you say that I cannot I rather them do it at my house so I can see what is going on then I'm hiding it from me and doing it so I'm out and something happening
Yeah, it's just a hard one in general, but like my parents let me drink under supervision at their house and it definitely prevented me from doing like crazy, crazy things. But yeah, I'm on a long road before I have to figure this out.
I personally would not tolerate that, do that outside of my house. Like, no, I raised you better to do that and honestly, it's kind of disrespectful. I'm an Asian mom and that's not gonna work on me.
But I don't know if I would be OK with letting my son do drugs and drink with me and you know I feel like that doesn't set a good example for them you know and I mean I'm not much of a drinker
Exactly I don't want to be that parent that's like oh she doesn't killed her kids do you know I obviously want to set a good example for my kids and I don't want them thinking that that's OK to do with that age even even after being of age you know
But then at the same time it's like well you either are able to supervise them or they're gonna snake out and do that stuff anyway and maybe it'll be more dangerous for them. You know, I don't know. That's why I'm on the border. I don't know what to think.
