This has been weighing on my mind for a while.
But first, sorry for the nonresponses,...I've been living in Photoshop for some time now (Bracket, RoseMarie, I'll have your pics to you soon!).
Anyways, I was watching Home Improvment a couple of days ago. It was the one where Brad got busted for pot. And Tim and Jill were all "Where did we go wrong? We talked to them, told them the dangers blah blah blah."
And it got me thinking of how my parents didn't really care what happened to me. Granted, I never got heavy into drugs, just popped pills for a couple of weeks, it would have been nice if they had showed some kind of concern.
And though I'm not planning on having kids until I'm damn near 30 (still got 10 years of freedom!), it makes me think of how I would treat my kids when it comes to drug use. I mean, if a teen wants to smoke weed, they're going to smoke, and you can't stop them. All your warning, grounding, crying and pleading will not get them to quit.
I don't want my kids to feel as though they have to hide anything from me. If they're going to smoke out, or drink, or even decide they wanna be sexually active - that's their decision and their responsiblity. But I would at least like to know about it, and find a way to help control it, without it looking like I'm trying to control the situation.
I remember that one of my friends used to be heavy into pot. And he'd smoke it at home, in his room. This is back when I was about 17. I'm all "And your parents know?" He goes "Hell yeah they know. I don't have to hide anything from them. They said that if I'm going to do anything, that they'd feel better if I did it under their roof that way if anything ever went wrong, I was already at home and they could take care of the problem."
That was fucking cool. AND that is fucking trust right there.
I want to have a girl. I don't know about any other kids, but I want my little girl. And if she's going to drink, I want it to be in my house. If she wants to smoke, it better be in my house. If she decides that she and her boy want to fuck, it had better be in my house....with protection and please keep the noise level down, I don't wanna hear that shit.
But honestly, I would rather that my kids trust me to come to me and tell me what they do and don't do and feel at home enough that they can do all that in the privacy of their own bedroom.
