Do you think smoking weed every night is cause for concern?

I didn't but since working in a job where we work closely with SS, I'm seeing it raised as a potential issue of children are present in the house.

For a bit of background, we have two kids 7 and 12. I don't smoke it anymore but my husband never really grew out of it!

He makes sure he hides it from the kids but the youngest has noticed that he smells of 'smokers' as our 7 yr old calls cigs, when he comes in.

I think the 12 yr old knows but doesn't care.

He works full time and rarely smokes in the day .

AIBU to think it's not so different from having a few beers in the evening (tbf he has those too)?

I think it's a cause for concern. Yes.

I'd also think it cause for concern if he drank every night.

I'm also bothered by the fact that he's basically ensured that your 12 yo thinks weed smoking is normal and not a big deal. How do you feel about him smoking weed through his teens? It's not good for teens MH or developing brains.

Having seen first hand the mental health crises of several friends as a direct result of long term weed smoking, I would say YABU to not see the seriousness of doing so, and around your DC.

Smoking weed is gross, the smell , everything. I wouldn’t want anyone doing that near my kids.
