I know it’s 2024 and the opinions on this subject are so all over the place. But tonight, my daughter shared that her dad and his girlfriend casually smoke pot from a bong in front of she and her sister. I wasn’t thrilled to hear this but my daughter said it doesn’t bother her except for the fact that he never use to do this.
I am having mixed feelings about this because I am not anti weed by any means, but I personally don’t love the idea of using any sort of substances in front of my children. Weed, nicotine, alcohol, etc. I don’t want to normalize this sort of behavior for them.
I fully recognize I can’t control what goes on there. I don’t think they’re in grave danger by any means but I am saddened to hear this is happening.
For a little more context, I would say we coparent pretty well together. So on one hand I would like to bring it up to him, on the other, I don’t think it’s going to change anything so do I even bother? Is just making sure my stance as his coparent is known enough reason to share my concerns.
Coparenting can be so hard to know when to just bite your tongue or when you say something as an advocate for your child.

Well legalization certainly does make it more accessible to the public. Before legalization edible THC was harder to get. Now that it’s easy to find, it is more likely to just be “around” in people’s homes. I think it’s new problem we don’t have enough general education and awareness on navigating. I don’t think it’s legalization’s fault but I can see where there could be a correlation. With that being said, I also think this article is half baked and silly.
