well lovely... just lovely...

my daughter came home, went to go get her friend to play outside like i asked her to do last night.... 2 minutes later the freakin phone rings, its the neighbor and shes NOT pleased apparently, my lovely baby girl went over and informed her friend that she couldnt come over to her house anymore because they 'do drugs there'.

shes nobody's fool she knew last night that what we were talking about with not being in houses that have drug use going on included her friend, so she felt it her JOB to tell the girl that.

so, here we go, here i am trying to keep the peace between everyone... and she says to me, 'ummmm, bri was just here and told me she cant come to my house because i use drugs ??? i dont smoke IN FRONT of the kids - sure i may be smoking when they come in and i should put it out, sometimes i dont - but, its not like im DOING it in front of them'




someone please explain that statement to me, and while youre at it, explain how the fuck i got in this shit to begin with !!! i TRUELY dont need these type of issues in my life

i don't think anyone should do any drugs in front of kids, but perhaps using kids as unsuspecting drugs mules is okay, no?

If no-one knows, no-one gets hurt.

let the woman smoke a joint if she wants to.....it's not in front of the kids.....

oh, so THEN, my SON goes to his friend and thinks its ok to go there because the boy swore on his life and his mothers life that they dont do drugs in their house

so, now, what i have is a neighborhood of folks looking at me like they want to KILL me because i have said something about them....

well, it was nice knowing all of you

phew! now i can sleep at night

Sorry, NPP, but I guess this is all part of being a good parent. You explained to your child why she wasn't allowed over there and the lady got mad about it. Sure, it's not pleasant, but you did what you had to do. I would have done the same in your position.

but she is not smoking in front of your kids.....you said so yourself!

nakedpianoplayer said:

but she says she puts it out as soon as the kids walk in...

your job is to educate your child on the wrongs of drug use....not how to judge others actions..

theres a big difference.

oh whatever.....I'm not getting mixed up in this.....

We're obviously talking about pot here. The woman probably doesn't think it's a big deal...or considers pot to be similar to drinking etc. Definitely doesn't see it as a drug.

Regardless, you don't want your kids hanging out where the parents smoke pot in front of them. And they shouldn't, it gives kids the impression that smoking pot is as common as smoking cigarettes. And it's not. These parents should understand that you don't want you kids playing around people where that is so open.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with pot (now if it was something else they were smokin...that's a different story) and certainly hate it when it gets demonized and thrown in the same category as coke and heroin. But even I won't smoke in front of my nephews and nieces.

You should also sit down your daughter and tell them a little story about tact...or when you don't want your kid saying things like this in front of others...tell them. Kids tend to take a very policing attitude about this stuff...and oft times feel it's thier duty to point out when someone is being bad.

I agree with you there, but in the other thread it is explained that it seems obvious this lady is smoking while the children are in the house. I wouldn't want my 7 year old there either.

and if your daughter new she wasnt supposed to be hanging out at places where people were doing drugs why the hell did she go into the house in the first place?

you need to sit down and have a serious talk with your daughter..she seems to be enjoying being an instigator if u ask me.....

superspaceboy said:

I agree on all counts.

sosgemini said:

Hold on here. It's npp's daughter and if she doesn't want her to go over someone's house because those people do something she doesn't agree with that's it. End of story.

If she doesn't want her kids to be around someone who's under the influence of any kind of drug, that's really her choice.

CarrieMpls said:

so why was the daughter allowed to back to the house?


wait, ive got sucked into the gd vortex, didnt i?

If anyone is doing drugs infront of kids, whether *hard* drugs or *sodt*drugs, please keep those innocent kids away..


IT IS NOT a place for them PERIOD!!!!

sosgemini said:

I think you need to read more carefully.

JoeyMFinCoco said:

so then why was the child back at the house?

i dont disagree with you...not one bit...but the daughter judged that woman in her face.....thats not right.

sosgemini said:

but americans have a hand of that.....I was at Boston Logan-airport and had checked in, knowing that many US-airports have smoking-lounges I asked some bookstore-dude where there was one in this terminal. It went sorta like this:

me: 'excuse me, is there a smoking-lounge in this terminal?'
Bookstore-dude: 'No, smoking makes you smell...'
me: 'Excuse me, did I ask you that?'
Bookstore-dude: 'No, I'm telling you!'
me: 'Well, be happy you don't have to smell me.....wtf!'
some woman: 'you should quit!'
Me: 'Thank you lady, now leave me alone!'

I love the US, and maybe I'm too european, but what the fuck is up with this???? Let me be responsible for my own actions!!! Shit.....

i agree, keep kids in the sweatshops so they can make hand made designer shoes and stuff gun-powder into fireworks.

but please, keep them away from drugs

sosgemini said:

She went over to the house to ask the girl to come outside and play which is something npp is cool with.

JoeyMFinCoco said:

what am i reading wrong?

the daughter was told she couldnt go to houses where there was drug use...carrie just said in a previous thread that the mother told the child not to go to the house..the daugher went back to the house and told the other mother, "i cant come here cause you do drugs."

tell me what am i reading wrong?

BTW, do you flush your margarita when your daughter walks in???

sosgemini said:

I think the daughter...just went to the house to inform them she wasn't allowed over...

It's either a policing tactic or an angry one because she can't go over there.

JoeyMFinCoco said:

ic...

well, looks like a good time for a discusion about tact then..

sosgemini said:

She can't be playing over at that pace, which doesn't mean she can't rang the doorbell and ask her friend to come out and play which is apparently what she did (and inform her why she couldn't come in apparently lol).
