Parents who smoke

How many of you are parents and still smoke. I'm not talking like parents of someone who is 18+ but a toddler?
My daughter just turned 1 last week and I don't know if it's legit that I still smoke. I don't do it very often. Just on weekends or when I have a day off. And I do it only at night when she's sleeping. Should I feel guilty at night when I do it? I always start smokin in a good mood but after a short while I feel guilty that I'm smoking. Someone told me that I shouldn't feel like this because it is a natural plant from God. IDk. give me some opinions.

Don't feel guilty man. As long as you smoking is not taking a toll on your parenting skills, you're fine. I mean come on, you're for one thing... smoking pot while your child sleeps... Do you have any idea how thoughtful that is? I'm from a place where parents with all their car windows rolled up would smoke cigs with their toddler in the backseat...

You're fine man. Smoke away and hope someday you can do it with your kid. ;)

Ever think the guilt is coming from the THC itself? Like paranoid almost?

as long as her physical, material, and emotional needs are being met, you shouldnt feel guilty at all.... now, if you have no job or place to live due to your hopeless marijuana addiction, and you drag her around while you turn tricks to score your next pot fix.... then i would say you should be bothered by it

Thanks for the replies. We meet her needs at all times and never put green before her. If we can afford a little, we get a little. ^ I think you might be right about the paranoid thing. I always worry about her waking up and me having to be not fully strong headed to take care of her. She hasn't woke up at all during the night though.

I know a guy that smokes incognito and then hangs out and watches kids movies and acts goofy around his kids they are young. He is kind of a stiff when he is "sober" and he loves it because it allows him to have a lot of fun with his kids when doing stuff that he would normally find boring / irratating.

I would be more afraid of getting arrested than anything.

if youre doing your parental duties, then whats the problem? i smoke pretty much daily after the kids are in bed (almost 3, n 2 months) ,sometimes even during nap time during the day.. of course in another room or outside.

obviously bein a mom, even during those times im 'on call'.. my husband cant smoke n go take care of the kids (hes the type that smokes n usually falls asleep, not a functioning smoker) me on the other hand am a functioning smoker, could be completely blown, n seriously no one can tell. lol. ive hadda go take care of the little one in the middle of a session, lol, can change a diaper without thinkin n comfort the wee one back to sleep. lol. husband of course watching in aw trippin balls.lol.. it is a normal occurrence here and honestly ive never thought twice about it.. its not like i blow off my kids to smoke.. theyre always number 1

but seriously man, dont worry bout it.think of all the folks who drink half the day in front of their kids.. i see that as much worse than those of us who wind down at the end of the day in private smokin n chillilin.. :blsmoke:

yep yep for some it can be productive and help you get through stressful times. all essential for being a parent.

I've never seen anyone neglect their kids over pot.

I smoked the whole time my kids were growing up and I hid it. I was successful, because both of my kids were surprised that I was growing. their 18 and 22 now.

my pops smoked my whole time growing up, and still does.... when i was 19 i finally smoked with him, and this made our relationship a lot tighter, and he taught me how to be smart about smoking.... him smoking with me mosdef saved me some tmie in jail b/c i was real dumb about it before like all kids are, but luckily i had my old man to show me the ways...

Sounds like I just need to chill when I do my thing. I've smoked with my friend and his dad and it was cool shit. Seems like when it's out in the open, it makes things easier. (When kids are older of course)

*I know it's off subject, but could I get some feedback about the setup I am thinking about using? I think the fact that I am a newb to the site kinda throws people off.

Like the others say, as long as it's not interfering with raising your kid don't worry...

Just make sure not to get in trouble with the law, if your taken away that's one of the worst things you could do to your kid....

I used to be pretty open about smoking and what not. I'd cruise all the time and meet up with random ass people. I stopped doing this immediately after meeting this fu*ked up dude 3 days after he got out of jail for selling. I don't wanna deal with people like that. Especially now that I have a daughter. I keep it low-pro and like I said before, I only do it at night and with maybe 2 or 3 different people. (Not at the same time)

I was pretty good at hiding it, as a single father it was nice to have that joint at night after I got the kids in bed.

Like everyone else has said... as long as you're meeting your parental responsibilities... there shouldn't be a problem. Would you look down on a mother who went out and had a drink once a week? Of course not.
