It's really hard for me to disagree with you Ash, because I have pretty much the same life experience as you. But I don't think I would beat on my child for making the same mistakes I did, it'd be way too hypocritical. I'd ensure they know the dangers, graphically if necessary, but in essence they must make their own mistakes. There's only so much protection a parent can offer 😬
I will fully educate my daughter about the dangers of drugs, smoking, etc. You see a mistake is something you do on accident. Not intentionally trying to hurt someone. If she lights a cigarette or snorts some coke up her noes after i TOLD her what happens. It's not a mistake and she deserves to be punished.

That doesn't matter. She's MY daughter and she'll do what i tell her.
Ugh, that will work when she's young, however when she gets old enough to start thinking for herself don't expect that to fly. If anything that kind of mentality will only make her want to do things to disobey you.

I did not. My parents were always fair and understanding, I never felt them to be people I needed to rebel against. They allowed me to do what I wanted as long as it was within reason and never tried to rule over me with an iron fist.
