There ya have it! Your line. Now, we don't all share the same line cause we're all different people with different points of reference. All good, we're still a community with a common interest and goal...save vaping.
I think that when Less says that he draws HIS line with the parents, another way that could be taken is that he considers the line to be your line, where you choose to draw it.
If 10 out of 10 parents choose not to let their children vape, we have exactly the same result as an "age-restriction" would create. But, what if only 9 out of 10 parents do? Then what does that change for you and your child?
The wife and I don't have children yet, but we hope to soon. Should that day come, I don't think I will ever feed my child McDonalds. Should we have a girl, she will not be having factory-raised chicken, or commercial beef/dairy products.
I can effect that. We grow 50% of our food at home, and 90% of what we do but is in ingredient form. I've read up on the effects of modern hormone-based livestock rearing, and I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I put that stuff in to my daughter's forming body out of a matter of convenience.
That said, do we, based on my feelings, need age-restrictions on fast and processed foods? Or do I just need to do what I think best for my children, and leave you to do best for yours?
Should I catch my son smoking, the whooping will ensue. Should his high-school teacher call me because she caught him sneaking a pouch of snus before his mid-terms, and he articulates to me that he has read up on the benefits of nicotine and went into it with eyes open, then, well, the wife and I are going to have a talk...and then Jr. and I are going to have a talk.
Your suggesting that the line belongs anywhere other than with the parents, and the parents alone, is the same as saying the wife and I need to bring you in on our discussion about how we're going to deal with jr's nicotine-pouch incident.
Would you let your 17 year old have a cup of coffee before his big exam? Do I get a say in that?
