| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/10/2006 3:19:49 PM | Never said that I was perfect. And Freakyfriend I also said that people who smoke, and drink and do drugs WHILE THEIR KIDS ARE AROUND, shouldn't have kids. This means don't do DRUGS in front of your kids. That is what I said. Next time you rip into me and send me a nasty message read what I said FIRST. Be clear about what I said and next time you won't look so stunned! | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/10/2006 4:33:44 PM | | I'm torn on the issue. Right now my son is on the other side of the country visiting his grandparents, and yes, the very odd night I will have the smallest amount of weed. But when my son lives with me, even if he's at his dad's for the night I just can't do it with a clear consience (no I can't spell right now), therefore it's not enjoyable so why bother. Does this make me an unfit mother? I don't think so. If I were smoking up in front of my son or promoting it in anyway, like having my stuff lying around where he can see it, then I would say that maybe I need a talking to. As for smoking, just please never smoke anything in front of your kids. They're so special and smoke just hurts their little bodies. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/10/2006 8:02:23 PM | | Margoe... correlation and causation are two seperate issues. No offense, but that was the most unsubstantiated argument I have ever seen. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 12:12:43 AM | I have smoked pot and as I said earlier, sometimes do right now, but only because I know that my son will not need me for the next few hours. I will NEVER smoke pot with him. If he's curious, I will talk to him about it, but I will not be the one to start him on it. Just like drinking, kind of. I would rather he drink with me at home then go out with people and be alone. Been there done that. It sucks and you get into situations you don't want to be in.
I believe that keeping things open with your kids is the best approach you can have. I won't tell him that I hate him or will beat him, but I will let him know that I am disapointed with him. Wow. That's kinda completly off topic. My bad. -Lee | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 1:31:16 AM | Stunned no just pissed at stupidity u said smoke, drink or do drugs infront of ur kids............. I smoke outside she sees me doesnt harm her in any way and I will always be the one to tell her yes mommy smoke and she tries hard to quit. I will explain the dangers to her and pray she doesnt follow in my footsteps. I have tried and tried to quit and failed many times that doesnt make it right for you to say I should nt be a parent Just my opinion . Stunned thats funny... U must be drunk right now  | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 6:09:01 AM | | MELISSA , What did wyou feel was unsubstantiated? That's the trouble with weed, one never feels he/she has to finish what they started. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 11:16:49 AM | What I ment by smoking in front of your kids was in the same area. If you go outside, that's great, because it shows that you put more thought into your daughter then your own comfort. I'm sorry, but it just really bugs me to see people smoking and forcing their children to breath in the second hand smoke because they can't wait to get out of the car or they don't want to be cold. It still doesn't make you a bad parent, but I just cannot agree with doing it. Smoking up with your kid next to you, now that's just wrong. Haveing A drink or 2 around your kids, fine. They can see that adults can drink responsibly and that you don't have to get drunk every time you drink. Getting drunk around your kids, can't see that being good for them either.

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 3:34:22 PM | Iam a single mother....a very good one. I smoke pot.... Never has my son seen me do it, talk about it or smelt it. I do it when he is asleep or gone with his dad. But i dont do it only for the buzz(dont get me wrong...its a perk) When i was 19 i was in a bad car accident....where in so i broke my back, along with various other bones. Im in pain every day..... And docters tell me to take ibprofen. Give me a break! I find pot is the only thing that numbs the pain at the end of the day. So you tell me..... Is it wrong to smoke pot Or how about me being denied any other kind of drugs to help with the pain. I dont think they could do any better of a job for me. And i dont want any chemicals in my body. So ill stick to the pot i think. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 4/11/2006 6:53:52 PM | | Pot for pain is a little different. But it's good that you don't do it around him. Coodo's to you. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 7/12/2006 11:23:32 PM | MAYBE SOME OF YALL SHOULD READ THE PROFILE AND IM NOT ****ING AT NOBODY BUT IT SIMPLY STATES.....................

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 7/13/2006 3:46:11 AM | MMmmm would appear there are two sides to every argument, me im on your side up to the age of 22yrs i had very bad asthma attacks and if anyone has ever been short of breath or had difficulty in breathing its the worst feeling, until i started smoking pot, after years on asthma sprays tablets, oxygen masks ect. i smoke two joints a day when children are in bed. i can now join in with my children playing games bike rides ect, i now have a life and live it to the full,doctors are far to eager to write a list of what you could take, we all need to take control of what we put into our bodys and stop being so negative of others mmmmM think ive made my point  | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 7/13/2006 4:18:11 AM | | i still dont think id sit with my daugther and smoke a joint maybe i could offer her some i mean she is 2 after all now .... and next ill bring home some harrion mid as well expose them young ... my god | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/13/2006 11:58:29 PM | The OP has NO kids....why would the op make an thread about "Single parents smoking pot"?
unless the OP knows some single parents who are smoking pot and just wanted other single parents opions, on the situration........... | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/14/2006 12:02:08 AM | | why risk losing your children even for one night to cps, while you go to jail for pot, | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/14/2006 12:06:56 AM | | even tho your right prw....i know alot of parents who DO smoke pot but they have common sense enough to NOT smoke it around their child/ren and who says anyone has say so in others lives we could word things differently so it wont seem like, were trying tell them what to do. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/14/2006 12:18:50 AM | | Your are stilling running a risk , the law doesnt care if you do it away from your children when they bust you they bust you, kids and all, if you are outside , down the road, and you have children you place your children at risk, I work in a bar, and I agree people high , are alot nicer than someone drunk, much rather have a bar full of pot smokers, then whiskey drinker, but the law dont see it that way, | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/14/2006 12:23:34 AM | I know and i realize all your saying prw and it is true someone in my family acturally told us that if someone has a joint/smokeing weed or has weed while they are around but they outside at night doing it, that the law wont touch the mom the dad or a mother of a baby because those people are NOT smokeing it.
But he got told differently and it was the truth somebody told him it does not matter if others in the place was not smokeing it if somebody gets busted while over at your place or you at their place, your all going to jail my OPION....i think some stuff is way to personal to post online what i do/anyone else does in their life is their OWN bussiness and should not be judge for it. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/14/2006 5:25:31 AM | I know one mom who's going through a horrible time right now with a controlling fiance. He's putting a lot of pressure on her to "get rid of" her 11 year old by another man so that they (along with their new child) can be a "real" family....
On top of all this, she's been battling depression for years. The meds didn't help for her. So every morning she gets up before the children, has a hoot while she goes for a walk. Believe it or not, it gives her energy and she's much more relaxed around the kids than she would be without it. I'd never be able to function around my children stoned. I tried pot when I was younger and I get too out of it for comfort.
I guess it depends on the situation. | |
