[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of parents who are permissive about young alcohol (or weed) use.

There are many kids who can use a few times and walk away.  There are kids who will become addicted and have their life go completely sideways.  I absolutely believe that there are people who just have a genetic (not necessarily hereditary but genetic) tendency towards addiction.  You really don't know how your kid stands in this regard until they grow up and start trying (or not) addictive substances.

Best to stay away as much as possible in the young years. [/quote]

True, but you are living in a fantasy world if you think the only thing stopping your kids from drinking is the fact that you don’t condone it. My kids know that we don’t approve. They also know that we aren’t stupid and that they will drink or experiment just like most people did when they were teenagers. They know that drinking and driving is a non- starter and they have a free pass to call us anytime day or night if they need a ride.  We aren’t trying to be their friends. They know that. But we also aren’t going to bury our heads in the sand and play dumb. Signed -Mom of two teenagers. [/quote]
