Have you ever smoked pot with your teenager? Let them drink? Have opposite sex friends spend the night?
I have friend who lets his 15yr old daughter do all these things. He says it is what “everyone” does these days and that he’d rather she do it at home with supervision than somewhere less safe. She got into harder drugs a few months ago and had to go through a program to dry out. Afterward the only consequences were drug testing and counseling, and having to stop smoking pot for two months. Now she is right back to smoking and drinking in her father’s house with his consent.
The last Time I was over there I watched a parade of older boys walking into the house right past her dad and into her room carrying six packs. All he said was “have fun kids!”
He is an Ivy League educated man. He swears up and down that all the parents he knows do the same and that it has no influence over how the kids turn out.
What do you think of this? Do you know parents who allow these things? Do you let your kids do these things? Why or why not?
What cold I possibly do about this? Not calling CPS or something like that. It would nomake her life better, but what can I say to her Dad? Anything?
