[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL allowed it in the house with her DSs when they were in HS. Jump forward 15 years and both of them are still living in her house, smoking marijuana every day, and staying up all night playing video games and sleeping all day. One is unemployed while one is marginally employed (part time at Amazon warehouse). One never went to college at all, and the other earned only as AS degree in a trade that he doesn't work in because he "hates it."

Allowing the marijuana use may not have caused this situation, but it sure as hell didn't help--it began a pattern that has never changed. The best friend of these guys, whose parents were very strict and never allowed marijuana, whose parents SIL always called "ridiculous" for being strict, is in his first year of residency as a doctor. It's anecdotal, but...[/quote]

I'm going to go ahead and say that if the marijuana had not been permitted to continue, that they wouldn't be where they are now.

Doesn't mean that they would have been Rhodes Scholars, but if your SIL had set a firm boundary and cut the crap out, I have no doubt they would have been better off than they are now. Marijuana dulls the brain, diminishes ambition and any sense of urgency. Sad.

Where was their father in all of this?[/quote]
