how i feel about any of this really.
on one hand its super cool, on the other, super irresponsible.
I think the 18 year old and him partying is fine....but probably would draw the line there. |
Same here dude, the house party + dosing w/ dad is wrong. |

| It's mega wrong in the sense that parents need to lead by example and provide balance in their children's lives. You can count on these kids' friends pushing them towards parties and drugs so if the dad is doing the same then who's setting the good example? If you got a nerdy poindexter kid who never leaves the house then sure bring him out to a rave and show them the world. But if your kid is already obsessed with raving you need to be the one proving that there's more to life than the parties, that's just 1 small part of the big picture. |

| wow... I had to turn it off 40 minutes in. What a bad parent. He makes me sick. The damage that he has done to his kids will torment them for the rest of their lives. What a loser. |

Agreed, even if the father likes to "party" you don't pull your kids into that behavior. Kids need a parent to lead them down the right path, and even though kids are going to make mistakes and have to learn some hard lesson by ing up....the parents shouldn't be the ones who enabled that! |

Yep. But enabling or encouraging that kind of drug use etc to the point he has is just retarded.
If my kid wanted to try smoking, I'd light up a cig with them so I know they're doing it in front of me for the first time rather than some shady people.
But to do it willingly every week and consistently. That's ed. |

| as addicted as he is, hes still a better father than a lot of dudes out there. just sayin. he raised his children pretty well from what i could see, they were drawing their own judgements and consequences at adolescence. |

That's kinda retarded. That's like saying I'm a better husband than my neighbour cause he uses a bat to beat his wife and I only use my fists. |

one COULD argue that a father figure introducing his kids to what they are going to ultimately discover themselves, could be a more REAL and productive way of teaching the kids about the use of drugs....in a responsible manner....
I know myself, I personally was more curious about drugs because my parents told me i SHOULDNT do them.
this is one heck of a double sided coin, and I dont really know that any of us have the right to judge the guy.
I think when people are able to make more informed decisions about substances, alcohol, cigarettes, etc....it can lead to a more PROPER decision for themselves.
That said however, when I have kids one day, I don't think we'll be raving. |

WRONG!!!
The fact that he's enabling his 13 and 15 yr old kids to do drugs gives me EVERY right to judge him... |
