asked ds (13) out of the blue at the table tonight.

The answer is yes, but dh and I had agreed this is the one question that we would lie to ds about and say no.

So I said no. Blushed. Giggled. Said no again. . Ds said 'you have, haven't you?' and I ended up spluttering and saying yes, but I was so stupid bla bla lecture lecture.
Ds (deaf to the lecture) - 'yeah yeah I know I know... but now you can never tell me not to do it, can you?' (with cheeky smirk)

Oh shit.

Should I have lied? I want to be open with ds but I don't want him to use this as an excuse to 'experiment' because it can't be that bad if his straight-laced mumsy mum did so in her yoof.

Aghh. Your experiences or advice welcome.

Perhaps what we need to do is smoke cannabis in front of them, spout a load of crap, get all silly and lovey-dovey and invite them to join in

Watch them run a mile and declare it "uncool"
