Smoking while outside with kids

Girl those are YOUR kids, YOUR house, YOUR life!!!! Can’t nobody tell you what’s wrong or right! Do what makes YOU happy! As long as those babies aren’t in harms way and not directly in your face, you are GOOD!

I personally wouldn't smoke around or in front of my children but to each their own

Wow 80% of people who think this is okay. Just because you can does not mean it’s good for you to do or your kids to even see. That is just straight up ignorance to completely act naive to the harms and dangers of it that have been well documented. Like it’s literally common sense and to just make it “okay” because you can do whatever you want in your home and nobody’s business is just absolutely trashy parenting and living regardless. (To the OP: if you are really thinking of what is BEST for your kids… the answer is obvious… if you are wanting to know what you can GET AWAY with…. Sure you might be able to get away with it without exposure but is that the parent you want to be? Find edibles instead if you really need.)

@Janis she never said how far away she was, but if it was even half an acre away from the kids that seems adequate

@Samantha If it was half an acre she would have said so. Even then, my opinion stands

@Janis you sure are judgmental for a Christian 😴😴 ain’t it a sin to judge?

@Janis notice how she said her yard was an acre… wow it’s almost like she implied it wouldn’t be right near them

@Milan lol it’s not a sin to make a judgement between right and wrong and to point out an obvious flaw in thinking and behavior especially as it pertains to vulnerable groups (children) You do not want to get into a theological debate with me. It’s a waste of time for you if that’s your first go to rebuttal to my opinion. And that is everyone’s favorite text taken out of context to justify their behavior whenever anyone corrects them.

@Samantha she added that. It wasn’t in the original post Even you in your post to me above acknowledge this, that she never said how far away she was… and if it was half an acre or more or whatever My opinion still stands. I can think of what is best for my kids as a parent or I can think of “what can I get away with” as a parent

@Janis but you can’t tell nobody what’s right or wrong in THEIR life 😂 you’re a pork eater, that’s a sin as well. You are definitely judging her, you literally said she has “trashy parenting” when you know literally NOTHING about this lady. You’re literally in a 420 mom group to judge moms who smoke😂 like girl, be real? I’m not getting into a debate with you at all lmfao, I don’t debate with the ignorant 🥰

@Janis just because you think something is wrong, doesn't make it so. I'm assuming you aren't a cannabis user?

@Milan Im not in the group, but it popped up in my feed. Again you don’t know scripture so I am not going to waste my time with pointless debates explaining it to you when you could google it yourself on what our actual beliefs are. I’m not Jewish and your little quips about Old Testament law outside of an actual Christian context shows your ignorance and your motive to not actually make a good point, you just want to argue for the sake of it. I didn’t call her trashy parenting but the FIRST COMMENT. And it IS “bad” parenting. In fact I separated my comment to OP in parentheses and gave her my opinion on the matter. All opinions require some form of discerning decision between best course of action which is a type of judgement between what is wrong, and what is good, better, or best. She asked an opinion to everyone about whether or not they thought this was okay, hence my opinion on what is right or wrong has already been invited whether or not she accepts it… that’s up to her

how old are your kids? i’m all for enjoying a good toke outside but i personally would wait till the kiddos are in bed. i would just rather they not see me doing it. if you’re worried about the smoke in the air i would assume its probably okay but that also depends on which direction the wind is blowing idk i think you’re safest doing it away from your kids that way they are 100% safe and you can actually enjoy yourself!

@Janis baby nobody’s reading that. I said what I said, enjoy your evening.

@Milan You as well, ma’am

My kids are 8 and 12. I’m in a legal state so I’m not doing anything wrong! Sin is sin and no where in the Bible does it say smoking is a sin. But the Bible does refer to judging as a sin. Smh we have a small pond at the end of our property and my kids tend to play near it. And yes they can swim and I’m always outside when they play by the pond. They also like to ride bikes or play ball on the property. They’re rarely within 50 yards of me and I’m usually in our patio which is also on the second floor, which is why I’m considering smoking when they’re out playing.

Do you want to know the actual meaning of judgement in the Bible as it’s used in all of its contexts or are you just going to quote what the other gal said? I won’t waste my time if you just want to hear only what you want to hear but if you actually want to know what that word means as it’s used, I can tell you, and I’ll entertain a fair discussion. Since you want to use scripture; you give me the verse and I’ll give you the meaning of what it’s saying not just cherry picked out of a sentence and a letter without understanding and ignoring it’s context I also never condemned the smoking as a sin, I never once used the word sin. You guys did. Not me. I wouldn’t spoke around my kids (not that I do smoke) because I do not think it’s healthy for me or best for them to see and demonstrate as a health habit. I never brought up sin once. You assumed what my beliefs were and where my opinion was coming from. It was not religious, that was assumed. For me it’s about medical knowledge

So if we want to use the AI definition, it’s got part of the equation. Regarding hypocrisy. I don’t smoke around my kids. No issue there. I try to parent by a means of what’s best and not just what I can get away with. I don’t make an excuse that it’s “okay” to do whatever I want and actually evaluate my parenting when it is wrong. The judgement it’s talking about here is a judgement of separation, not of pointing out of what is right and wrong. The Pharisees and sudducees of that time would isolate and shun or and not even be among them based on what they perceived as sinful. Hence the remark that “Jesus was eating amongst tax collectors and sinners.” And yes it’s not good for a person to judge in the sense of saying “you are going to hell,” or “you can’t be among us” because of their sin when they themselves were sinners. But to judge and discern between what is right and wrong and to call it out as it is, is not sinful. I would still welcome anyone here at my table too.

But I can distguish between “trashy parenting” as an action… and not calling that person unreedemable. Which I never said. I can point out the bad decisions and not condemn the person. It’s bad parenting, doesn’t mean that person is unworthy of repentance or forgiveness And again…. I never made any of my original comments based upon any religious base or even mention of sin. That was an assumption made by others…. Who in order to do so… made themselves a judgement as well.

@Janis once again, here you are judging. Calling her a “trashy parent”. You don’t know her. Just because she smokes OUTSIDE in an open space doesn’t make her a bad parent. Nobody said your comments were based off your religious beliefs, I simply brought it to light that you are “so Christian” but yet you’re sitting here judging a mom, and calling her a trashy parent. THATS JUDGING. Nobody made an assumption that you were a Christian, you literally have it plastered all over your profile luv.

@Milan I didn’t call her a trashy parent I said it’s trashy parenting. I’ve had bad parental decisions, doesn’t make me a bad parent. There is an absolute difference. Now if I make a habit of only making or mostly making bad parental decisions, that would make me a bad parent. But you can absolutely be a great parent and still make a horrible judgement call. I think this one of those cases. I also thought you didn’t have time to argue with me? I didn’t bring my religion into the conversation. You did. And I’m making a judgement off of a decision, not her as a person. The decision is not a good one. And you do not understand scripture. You are misquoting and twisting it to suit your needs without understanding it. I have you an explanation and you have yet to be able to make any sound or reasonable argument back other than just restating your same statements over and over again

@Janis ….saying her parenting is “trashy” is calling her a trash parent….baby your brain smooth as hell.

girl yes it’s fine ur kids will be okay 😌

@Milan If that’s how you feel about it. 🤷‍♀️

@Janis k. Go worry about your kids since you’re the perfect parent 🙃

@Janis ATP if i wanted a sermon id go to church. Please exit the comments. Bc now it’s just annoying 🙄

@Milan Thank you

I just cannot stand women who put other women down because they choose to smoke or drink. She acting like you ask was it ok for you to pass the blunt to your jits💀

@Milan right!!! And It’s always the perfect patty throwing the Bible in the mix 🙄

Exactly. I went to her page and was like “oh???? A Christian woman but doing a whole lotta judging!!!” Then proceeded to say “I’m judging right from wrong”……baby you’re not god and you’re STILL judging😂 brain smooth as hell

@Milan I always say there’s no love like Christian hate 🤣🤣

@Alison HELLOOOO! LMFAO the most hypocritical mfs on this earth, I swear!

@Alison PERIOD!!!

@Milan 😂😂😂
