PostHeaderIcon At home drug tests…

4-pack-optOn the previous posts, we talked a little about huffing. While that’s not detectable via any drug test, if you’re worried about other types of drug use, there is an at home testing system that you can use.

This of course, brings up the issues of teenagers and privacy again – but there is another side to it. If you’re child is feeling pressured to try things he’s not ready for, or shouldn’t do ever anyway, sometimes even if they HATE it, being able to say “No way, my mom TESTS me for that crap” is an easier way to say no. And I’m all for giving our kids every possible advantage.

Ask PTB!
No, I'm not a professional anything (except maybe a professional PITA, but the pay sucks!), but sometimes, parents of teenagers have questions, and sometimes? it's simply easier to ask some snarky woman on the internet, just to talk it out. I am that snarky woman. Ask away, folks, and I'll answer you on the blog. :)

Attention!

Hey - all this drivel I spout out about here? It's mine. I wrote it, designed it, slapped it together except where quoted from folks who asked me to write about'em, and stuff otherwise noted and cited. That means it's mine - not yours. So play nice, be a good sport, and keep your grubby mitts off - this is my stuff, get your own!
