text: no. just because i know that they are doing it doesn't mean that i have to allow it or condone it, especially in my own home. some people think that if you know that they are going to do it anyway, why not let them do it where you know they will be safe. this is an absentee parent point of view. just because you let them do it in your home, it doesn't mean that they are going to be safe, or not do it outside of the home. as long as my children live under my roof, they will abide by my rules. they are not difficult, but they are set to protect them. if they don't like it, they can pray that their 18th birthday comes sooner.
