[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just had a big fight with DH.  In our family, when we are all home during the evening or on the weekends, DH smokes pot and plays endless games of internet chess.  He is in another room, his man cave.  He is relaxing, I get it.

I don't know if his pot is causing him to retire from active family life, or he would do it anyway, but I would like to know if your family interacts together at home, or everyone is doing their own thing.  I don't want to blame pot for something that would occur anyway.  We have two small kids.

One of my friends with older kids have Wii nights.  People are playing or watching, but at least everyone is in the same room.

Plus, his daily pot use is expensive.  He says it helps with his chronic anxiety and racing thoughts.[/quote]

I'd put my pothead husband on playtime duty. I didn't look through to see how old your kids are, but whether it's a lovely tea party set up with young ones or playing a game of throw the popcorn into the big hat, being high would be an asset.

I was given medical marijuana by my doctors for severe muscle spasms. I only smoked after the kids were in bed, but if one of them woke up and came into my room, we had a blast doing puzzles or coloring. They had no idea I was high, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed how we spent our time together. It was a kick!

I've since been placed on other medication. I'm glad for the experience. I can tell you that marijuana is no excuse to remove yourself from family life. Getting high and spending an awfully long time cooking with my kids was a whole lot of fun, when they wanted more food after having been put to bed. Same with braiding up my DDs hair.

Anything chill and detail-oriented is good.
