Im concerned about the amount of pot my relatives…
DEAR ABBY: I just concluded a five-day go to internet hosting some younger relatives. Both are adults in their early 30s. They have full-time jobs and make first rate money, although they spend it as fast as they get it. My concern is their pot smoking.
Recreational marijuana is legal right here as properly as where they live. During their go to, they smoked joints before breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner and before mattress. I might estimate they smoked 5 to seven joints a day apiece. They repeatedly commented that what they purchased right here was a lot stronger than what they might get at home. I advised perhaps they need to, therefore, smoke a bit less, but I acquired a “we’re on vacation” response.
They interspersed the smoking with high-caffeine power drinks. Both exhibited a lot of anxiety and paranoia. Multiple instances, they drove their rented car after smoking, and they would have gotten a DUI had that they had been stopped for any purpose.
I said nothing about their pot consumption during the go to, but then I assumed that if that they had seen me with a recent glass of wine in my hand at breakfast, adopted by 5 or six more over the course of the day, they might have been concerned about my habits. Am I loopy to be concerned about theirs?
I don’t know if this is how they spend their common days off from work, or if this was a trip binge. Should I keep my mouth shut and just let it go, or ought to I strive to focus on it with them now that their go to is concluded? — OBSERVER IN OREGON
DEAR OBSERVER: How these totally employed relatives spend their money is just not a subject you need to raise. However, you do have the proper to inform them you had been concerned about not only the amount of pot they had been smoking during their go to, but also the fact that they had been driving under the affect. Marijuana could also be legal, but that doesn’t make it advisable to use in every scenario. Being stoned slows down response time and places them and other drivers at risk.
DEAR ABBY: My fiancé and I’ve been residing with his mother and father for the past two years. We are prepared to transfer, but it appears like his mother and father need us to live with them eternally. I’m prepared to just go away, but I don’t need to trigger drama. His father calls me impolite names and fights with my fiancé. I don’t need my daughter residing this means anymore. Should I just stroll out, or ought to I clarify to them first what our plans are and then go away? — HAD ENOUGH IN THE SOUTH
DEAR HAD ENOUGH: I suspect there may be at least one chapter and verse lacking from your letter. Rather than go away in a huff or sneak away with no clarification, you and your fiancé ought to thank his mother and father for permitting you to live with them for the last two years, inform them you may have discovered a place of your own now and go away as pleasantly as attainable.
