  Ive never lied to my kids about my medicine, and I never will. They get enough bullshit information from other sources, they need to be able to trust their momma

  I totally agree. Never hid weed from my kids and they never talked about it. If a child feels they have to keep A Secret…It will eventually come out at the most inappropriate times. Don't hide it and it will not be an issue.

  Granny- There is nothing to hide. Once when I was taking a nap my middle son came into my room and was playing with the crap on my nightstand. I had a glass jar with my herb in it on the table and when I woke up he asked me "Why do you have a plant in this jar" and I told him it was my medicine and it helped me feel better and the jar was to keep it all together. He then told me I should "plant it in the ground and see if it grows so you can always feel good and never run out" I told him he didnt know how very right he was.There is nothing wrong with marijuana and hiding it from children just leaves them confused.

  10.Marry the right person. Don’t settle, don’t lose yourself. Marry the right person and everything else will fall into place.

  I’d just expand this to say that in order to marry the right person you need to be the right person.

  Just a note December, When my folks were unhappily married, it was miserable. After they split up it may have been difficult ,financially, however, it was alot calmer.
  One thing was very clear both of my dad’s ex wives and his current one are really cool and I ended up with a very large extended family .
  My folks became good friends again.
  I just wanted to say that being divorced became good . A miserable marriage isn’t worth it .

  Yes! Divorce was the best thing to ever happen to me! My kiddos struggle when it comes to going back and forth and dealing with unnecessary drama, but that will lessen as they age and everything should go back to a steadier pace. I agree that divorce can be a good thing. To have happy and healthy children, you must first be happy and healthy yourself, first. Thank you for the comment Dave!

  Hey December, good post (again) Maybe I can get my kids to articulate good things about divorce. I’ll have a go and let you know.

  Maybe I have high hopes for my kids, but I’d like to teach them to love unconditionally and accept people for who they are, no matter if they disagree with them or not.
