Smoking while outside with kids

We just brought a new house that had a huge backyard! About an acre! Do you think it’s okay to smoke on our back patio while the kids are out playing? We used to live in a townhome so our backyard wasn’t this big so i never smoked outside while they’re playing but now that we have such a huge big backyard i feel like it’s okay! The kids have been out playing for the last few weeks and i feel like they aren’t close enough to really have a contact high? What do you think? Will i be okay?

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

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

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

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

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 🥰

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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💀

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

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

As long as you aren’t blowing smoke in their face and at a decent distance to where they can’t smell it. Then you are fine. When I was younger, my parents would take us to the park, let us out to play while they smoked in the car and it took me almost 18 years later to discover what they were really doing. Lol

Avatar

my parents did the same and i didn’t know until i smoked the first time 😂

Avatar

That’s when I found out when I started smoking in my youth. I was shocked to see my mom smoking and swore up and down my mom never smoked! I was so naive as a kid. She hid it very well as they did back in the day. They always told us to stay in a child’s place and get out of grown folks business 😂😂😂

Is this normal

Let’s say you’re at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. They’re very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
They’re sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasn’t going to eat it, and they didn’t ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?

Are these men ok?

I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners don’t need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us don’t have these kinds of men in our lives!

I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and he’s even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.

Nobody’s perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who aren’t interested in being better is so so sad😞

But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?

Car issues

Idk if I’m in the wrong. I have a full time job. My husband takes care of the kids while I worked. Today was the day I was supposed to get us a car. But I couldn’t cause of the down payment. So now he’s texting me saying I’m wasting his day to be alone at Walmart so he can spend his tax return. I really want to say go ahead. Leave. Leave the kids and me alone. While you go out and spend money. While your at go ahead and buy urself your drugs and a bitch to go fuck.

Lucky I’m even thinking about him about the car situation if not I would’ve been buying me and the kids a car small enough for us!

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?
