To not regret my decision for not 'telling off' other adults and letting my child still stay at the party

[Shinyshoes1]

My 4 year old DD1 was invited to a party yesterday along with other 4 year olds and the little boy who had turned 4.
There was a bouncy castle, face painting, loads for the kids to be doing and they were having a great time outside enjoying the 'ahem' great British weather.....................so were the adults who were all smoking weed.I was the only one that wasn't smoking weed. I'm a non smoker and my days of recreational drug taking finished the moment I decided to settle down and have a family.
DH has just popped a ballsack after finding out his daughter had 'breathed it in' and 'didn't I say anything' no I didn't there were about 15 ADULTS there all smoking weed, Who am I to dictate what they do. It was outside and apart from the obvious smell I doubt my daughter even noticed along with the other child whom are either oblivious to the smell or used to it. My DD when she had to use the loo was taken by me and escorted back outside as they were smoking it inside too and in such a confined space I didn't want he in there too long.

WIBU, SHould I have left in protest like my DH says? it's not like they were blowing it in the childrens faces. It was outdoors in a communial area

Just because 'it goes on' does not make it acceptable.

YABU because you not batting an eyelid is normalising it to your child

the contents of joints these days is a lot different (and more dangerous, mind altering etc) than what was in them in "my day"

Just because it's illegal doesn't make it unacceptable imo. Some people get on with it and some don't (a bit like alcohol).

Doinmecleanin.

I posted earlier that i have experienced the same and wondered if i were at the same party. Actually i think it was a different party but similar situation. So if you are saying the op is lying because she experienced something you never have, then you are saying i am lying too.

Okaaay

Explains a lot, mind. OP was a party where every adult at the party but her were stoned. You think you might have been at the same party

DH is a twat.

Doinmecleanin. Ha ha, no. I thought when i first saw the thread that it might be the same party, but its unlikely. At the one i was at only some people were smoking, the rest were shocked!

You carry on not believing or implying Im a stoner if it makes you feel better about the world though.

I think it depends on what drug it was as to how I'd have felt. Dope - meh? I don't know many people who don't or haven't used it. I haven't used it regularly for a few years now but it certainly doesn't shock me in the slightest. I've been to many parties where it is smoked regularly and never seen anyone out of control or incapable of caring for kids.

I also know a few people who regularly use cocaine - it makes them very weird and disturbing and it has also cost them so much they are bankrupt and being forced to sell their house. They also have been out of their fucking trees with kids about - lining the stuff up on the kitchen worktop with children walking in and out. I avoid their parties now.

Now that sounds believable. Every single parent-supervisor but the OP getting stoned in front of kids all at once, not so much.

I agree with DH, I wouldn't like it either.
