Mother worries about
daughter's pot habit
Tribune Media Services
DEAR AMY: My 24-year-old daughter graduated from college two
years ago and moved back in with me last year. realize my daugh-
ter is an adult, but we have had some issues about her smoking pot,
which I do not allow in my home.
My daughter works part time and has her own money. Recently,
she has been going upstairs and spending a great deal of time with a
60-year-old female in-law, who lives in the same building as us. One
evening she came back from a visit and she was so high that her eyes
were barely open and her speech was impaired. I confronted her and
she confirmed that they smoke pot together.
I think a 60-year-old woman should not be smoking pot with my
24-year-old daughter. This woman is a bad influence on her.
Should I confront this in-law and tell her I consider her imma-
ture to be smoking pot with a 24-year-old? She knows I have been
concerned about my daughter's use and her recent behavior chang-
es, including her laziness.
I don't care what this other person does, but I do care that she is
encouraging my daughter to use drugs that have kept her from pass-
ing a urine test for a permanent job.
