[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I love how my circular reasoning isn't making sense yet you completely misunderstood and mischaracterized what I was saying.

Any parent who would "change the locks" and disown his/her children for a minor infraction is a shit parent in my book. I was not commenting on how the children turned out. I was commenting on the idea that he/she is willing to let her children be homeless because they smoked pot. That is about as horrible as you can be as a parent.

Guaranteed both of you drink and have smoked pot in the past.

NP who just read through this thread. You do understand that most of the adults on this thread disagree with you and actually set boundaries at home because they recognize the dangers of pot?  Having consequences for violating those boundaries does not make one a horrible parent. In fact, a parent allowing a child to use drugs at home at will is a far worse example of parenting.  Read about the dangers of today's strain of pot versus 20 years ago (and that's without the added danger of fentanyl) and what happens to kids who become addicted.  YOU are the parent who I try to have my kids avoid - the one who thinks they are progressive and cool and stands by while their kid makes destructive decisions.  And no, I have not smoked pot ever because I saw how it was the gateway to my sibling completely destroying their life and the wreckage that left for the rest of the family.[/quote]

Do you realize that I am not commenting on setting boundaries? I'm commenting on "we would change the locks and the grandparents wouldn't take them in either." That kind of black and white, hystrionic thinking is shitty parenting, ESPECAILLY given that we are talking about adults here.

I never said I would allow pot smoking in my house.

The rest of your post is just nonsense I don't care to read or comment on.[/quote]
