[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do not drink, and I do not condone drinking either. I would never bring my kids to a party where alcohol was being served, I understand many adults enjoy a beer or cup of wine, but I do not see why I should be expected to push that on my kids by taking them to parties where alcohol is served. If they choose to drink when they are 21, that is fine, I don't see why I should teach them that drinking or smoking is fine by bombarding them with experiences of people doing either.

As for how I knew DC had less smokers, I had a lot of friends/family in the area who said as much. Also, if anyone spent more then a day in Philadelphia, they would know just how many people there smoke, I would come back home from work (in center city Philly) smelling like old cigarettes from walking down market street during the day time, literally every other person you would pass was smoking. Then I got a job offer in DC which helped me choose as well.

Anyway, I think it is perfectly fine to ask the neighbors to be respectful of my kid's health. They can smoke indoors or in their back yard, why they just have to smoke right in the front where the smoke puts the neighborhood kids in danger is beyond me. [/quote]

OP, face it, you are an outlier. You've never brought your kids somewhere where people were having a "cup" of wine?

There's a good chance your kids will grow up and be embarrassed by you.

You focus way too much on this stuff. I know a lot of normal people - you are not acting in a normal way on this issue. I say this to be helpful. That is all. [/quote]
