As a mom of a 4 year-old, I know I have some time before these things become an issue for me, but I already know that I would rather have my son drink or even smoke pot in the safety and privacy of my own home, instead of god-knows-where that may not be safe or where he could get himself into trouble. The only thing I disagree with entirely is the sex thing. I was 16 when I had my son, and I knew all about safer-sex, and even used condoms, but obviously, they failed at some point. Quite frankly, I do not want my son to have to deal with the difficulties of being a teen parent, and I certainly don’t want him to pay for one night of fun for the rest of his life, whether they keep the child or not, so IMO, sex is totally out of the question until you are at least done high school.
