It’s ok to let your child smoke at a young age
Sooo a lot of people keep talking about how they don’t know if it was the right decision to let their kid smoke at a young age... If my child wanted to start smoking I would let her as long as she was 8 or older. I started smoking when I was 12....both of my parents are heavy smokers going through about 2 packs a day. Even my step parents are heavy smokers. On my dads side their is a lot of drug and alcohol use..Not a surprise that I smoke! Your child is pretty much growing up in a world filled with different tobacco products that lots of people use. If you let your child smoke and they have never done it before and they try it once and they end up hating it ask them if they would like to try a different brand if they say yes then support them don’t tell people that will get mad at you for letting your child smoke! Remember you are not a bad person for letting your child smoke. Lots of people say you have to be 18 to smoke and buy cigarettes. That’s not true. It is not against the law to smoke before the age of 18.
Ren,
Is it possible for you,Lilly, and Belinda to go to bar, instead of walking the
street? Kind of keeping solicitation activities out of sight, so to speak. You
might have to pay the barkeep something for his cooperation. Just
thinking out loud.
Cate.
Cate,
Thanks for making that clearer to me/us if Lilly has misunderstood you too. The only problem of concern mum has for now is that authorities MAY find out what we're doing.
Ren
Again, let me be clear.
What people do between themselves is fine, even for money. If Lola
was doing this on her own, that would be different. She is being forced
to prostitute herself by people who only want use her for their own
ends.
No one is forcing you. No one is going to produce videos, doing who
knows what, with who knows whom, for profit.
Again, that's the difference., and I couldn't be more clear on the subject.
Cate.
Ren,
What you do is of your own volition.
You are not being p-mped out by people who only want to use you
for their own benefit.
That is the difference.
Cate.
Cate now should we go ahead, it will make us feel worthless and we were looking forward to it so much.
Ren
Cate,
I thought you agreeing to our desires to some extent.
Ren
EVERYONE PLEASE!
Being a prostitute is NOT a glamorous profession!
My daughter is in the clutches of s-x traffickers, who keep almost all the money
she earns, and exploit her like a commodity to be used and disposed of.
My daughter will be ten years old in less than two months. TEN.
This is not"Pretty Woman". This is exploitation of a child.
Cate.
Lilly and Ren,
I want to prostitute myself too. You are very lucky to be able to do it.
April
Lilly,
It seems as though you have made no secret of your intentions.
Perhaps better to be open about the situation with everyone, so
there are no unwanted surprises.
Cate.
Cate,
Just your opinion, but do you think mum has any right to tell nan what Ren and I are going to do. We saw her today because she wanted to see the babies. This is so embarrassing for us, although Nana said "if that's what they want to do it's okay and it's the oldest profession ever". Then she gave Ren and I a carton of cigarettes between us. She often tells us we are her favourite grandchildren and we don't like to upset her. She is not our biological grandmother, she's Belinda's mum but we call her Nan out of respect.
Lilly.
Cate,
That's good to hear. I have no problem with Ren and Lilly prostituting themselves. They've got their hearts and minds set on it, I'm promised them that and I can't take that away from them. My mum knows of their intention to do this.
Belinda
Belinda,
If, by some chance, I regained custody of Lola, I would try to return her
to a lost childhood. Having said that, I would also support her desires, if she
wished to remain sexually active as a prostitute. She is, after all, still
my daughter.
Cate.
That was from me again,
Belinda
Cate,
I'm afraid that may be reality with all our girls. I've told my girls when they start having s ex for money, the will will become greater to make more money, so the merry-go-round will be difficult to off.
Belinda,
At this time, I have no real hope of regaining custody of Lola.
Unfortunately, her education has stopped at fourth grade. The only
skill she'll have is on her knees or on her back. Or making videos.
Cate.
