The Seeker 3,048 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 You can't stop kids from doing sod all at the end of the day you can but advise. They make there own mistakes or they don't you just got to go with the flow I disagree with this. As a parent you are there to nurture, to guide, to advise, to correct and to provide an example to your children. This isn't a random "lets see what happens with them" situation. they're your children and should be brought up with basic values of wrong from right. I can tell you now 100% my son won't be smoking a cigarette in front of me (he's also 13), he knows the score and although our friendship is second to none he knows I'm his father not one of his mates. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In front of you and in the house of course but once his round the corner with his mates if its in his nature to play up he will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 My sonsbest friend said lastnight that my 13yr son is smoking .i smoke and the wife what do you think is the best way to tackle it stop k His dinner money or his pocket money. I might sound like I'm pissed off what's the best way to go about Thanks for replays. I'd tell him to get rid of the wee grass as his best pal....? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meathminkman 6 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I think your being a complete hypocrite. If he sees both of you at it then he will follow suit. Ground him, take away pocket money, xbox whatever. None of it will work. You can explain all you like to him but when it comes to your kids they will do s they see you doing.

lurchers 2,763 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I laugh when people say they can't stop smoking,my answer to is ya full of shit.i stopped a year and a half ago after smoking for 35yrs and I always said I couldn't cos my temper would go through the roof.the wife stopped 6mths before me and we both went on them e cig pens,I had the 0.0 so there was no nicotine at all and after 6days it went into the cupboard where it still is now and never to come out again.dont get me wrong it's hard at first as you want that kick to the back of your throwt but that's it.as long as you can over come that mate you've cracked it don't get me wrong I still get the thing for a split second but that's it mate.beleave me if I can stop anybody can mate atb.

Show them the real face of it End of life hospices are always looking for volunteers. Give them a few afternoons chatting with folk that are weeks away from dying due to smoking should open their eyes a bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
