[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would anyone here tell their kids when and if they experienced smoking pot? alcohol before age 21? The list goes on and on. I just think, as long as you love your kid, whether it be 100% yours, a donor egg, or adopted, just love them.  If for some reason they ask, and, they are old enough and mature enough, perhaps. It just seems to me to be a Pandora's Box. [/quote]

First, I agree with a PP that this is a silly comparison.  You can't compare information that is about who the parent is with information that is about who the child is.

That said, my mom had a very wild youth, and she did actually tell my brother and I about it from a young age, in a very appropriate way.  As we got to be teens and had questions about that stuff, she told me that she had made a lot of choices when she was young that she really regretted, and that those experiences weren't worth what it cost her.  Her explanation that the choices she made when she was high or drunk destroyed her respect for herself for years made a big impact on the lines I drew for myself in adolescence.

So, even in your unfair example, integrity is still a good choice.[/quote]
