Good Morning…Parenting is done differently by all of us, however this mom should be served notice…If you agree with me, then let’s co-rant.
Miss Holt, 43, knows Sam drinks but is just relieved that it's not more than a couple of cans of lager a night.
And she decided not to get angry about her daughter losing her virginity at 12, instead insisting that Sam uses contraception.
Miss Holt, a jobless single mother with two other adult children, told Closer magazine: 'I don't see the point in punishing her.
'If I ground her, I'm just punishing myself because I have to put up with her in the house. Instead, I reward her good behavior by giving her cigarettes. If she's bad, she goes without.
'She's a little comedian. I let her get away with a lot of cheek. It's sweet.'
Giving out cigarettes as a reward 'works', she insisted.
Miss Holt said: 'There are a lot worse things she could be doing.
'We've all got to die sometime. I haven't got cancer from smoking so she'll probably be all right anyway.'
Miss Holt explained away her daughter's under-age sex. 'I didn't punish her,' she said. 'It wasn't a one-night stand. She had been dating the guy for a couple of weeks.
'I took her to the doctor's the next day to get her on the Pill. I've told her to use condoms as well.'
Sam admits having had four sexual partners in less than a year but said: 'I only sleep with boyfriends. I worry about getting pregnant because I don't want kids until I'm married so I always use condoms.'
The teenager claims being given cigarettes for her 15-a-day habit has helped her behavior.
Sam said: 'If Mum tells me to tidy my room, I ignore her but if she offers me a fag, I do it.'
I for one think this gal will be a statistic before she reaches her 16th Birthday..
Oh well, again we each parent differently, but I for one feel this mother is treating her daughter like buddy instead of her child…
Other then that I can’t think of a worse case of parenting except for that Florida Mother who allowed her daughter and her friends to feverishly beat down a fellow classmate at their Florida home…
I understand it is Thirty Thursday again… Stay thirsty my friends, stay thirsty…
A hug, a pat and a wish from me to you to have a fantastic Thursday
