Mothers and drugs?


One too many times I have read questions on here from mothers who use drugs for whatever reason.
I have a 4 year old son and another on the way... Trust me when I say that I was NO angel before I had my first. I drank, did drugs, stayed out all night, etc... But when I made the choice to give birth and be responsible for someone else's life I gave that all up. Isn't the risk just to high? The risk that the drugs you are doing could kill you? That you could be arrested and go to jail? Even if only for a night, isn't that unfair for a child? How would I teach my sons morals and to make good decisions if I don't make good decisions for myself?
I just don't see how anyone can tolerate or justify this kind of behavior... It is time to grow up!

What are your thoughts?

Answers:
Good for you, I wish more people would be more responsible for their actions. Especially when kids are concerned. Too many parents forget that they have kids and just want to keep the party going. You cannot raise a child in that type of environment without them being affected in some way or another. I am not saying to stop having fun, all I am saying is think before you do. Keep up with the ideas that you have and one day you will look at your kids and be thankful for the choices you made
You go girl! I agree with you 100%.
