How many of you do this?

How do you feel about their knowledge level?

What kind of values and morals do you instill into them?
 
as far as what age???do you mean ..do u tell your kids that u use AS???i would say no....how on earth would u educate a young one and not have him/her want to try the same thing...espacially when u do it?? i will definitely educate my children on the benefits of working out, eating protein, but most certainly not on AS unless they r mayb 18.
 
i think what B meant was--do you use and have kids--right?

i am thinking of asking the queen of hearts to move in with me and that means a little one comes with---she is very understanding about my gear use---although we do argue about certain aspects of it---we have talked about the moving in thing and she doesnt want her kid to know that i use or have used till they are old enough to understand everything about it---so it sounds like i will have to hide the gear, darts, and disposal container in a secure place like a small safe or lock box
 
I have 2 little girls , I will not let them watch me take shots , and of course needle's are cleaned up like a madman , and I feel guilty sometimes when I think about what I would say if anything ever happened and I could'nt be with them because of daddy's ego
 
4 kids here
they know nothing
values and morals are to take pride and respect in yourself. I've said this probally a milion times but only you can truely take care of yourself and you are the only one that will always be there for you
 
I think if you are an adult about it and obviously aren't shooting yourself in front of your kids it is ok. Heck, some p's smoke and drink in front of their kids. I think that is bad? I guess if you were raging and beating on your kids and they couldn't walk to the bus you know it would have to be time to stop!
 
I think the fact that I use AS is just about the only thing that I really hide from my daughter. (she is six). I would not want her to know about it. It's funny that you make this thread because I have been thinking about this lately and how I feel about doing something that I have to hide from her. I have also been thinking about the fact that it is illegal and if I was arrested or something I would feel terrible about how that would impact or reflect on her.


But on a positive note: smoking, drinking, mind altering chemicals, are all terrible and I don't do any of them. I actually don't see anything wrong with AS use. It's just the fact that it is illegal that makes it complicated.

I get scared shitless sometimes...I have 2 kids who are really young and I could only imagine the shame I'd bring my household if I got busted. Not to mention how they'd look at me years down the road when they understood what happened. One the flip side of that, my three year old daughter is a friggin cutie now, so I can only imagine what she'll look like in another 13 years......AS will certainly help me strike fear in the hearts of any would-be playaz who may come a-callin'.....definitely not looking forward to kicking the shit out of 16 year old boys - but what are you gonna do?
 
I wouldn't tell them. Remember, you are dealing with a child's mind. The reality of it is that they are not yet equipped to handle adult issues. They don't comprehend things on an adult level. Part of being a parent is knowing when and to what degree you have to let adult reality into their lives. Sometimes it is a hard thing to get right, but that is part of the responsability of being a parent. you have to play god a little bit sometimes. It is not always easy to do, but it is your responsability none the less.

Now lock the door and get that damn needle in your ass son! :D
 
age and maturity is what its about. i have 3 kids myself. they don't know, and it will remain that way until they are old enough and educated enough to understand. it's a delicate process, raising a child...hell, do they know everything their mom and i do in the bedroom, as their fast asleep? well, lets hope not, but anyway there are some things that the little ones are better off not knowing, at least until the time is right.
 
I have a 1 year old girl and a 6 year old boy- I have always tried to instill how important athletics and the care of your body is to your quality of life-My wife is aware of my AS usage however not my children. When they get to be of an age when they can understand AND comprehend what it means I will re-evaluate what to do.
 
WOW....lots of guys here with kids! I thought I'd throw that out there to see where everyone stood on the topic. I've got 2 boys. I keep everything I do private, so there's not even a chance of them finding out. I (try) to instill positive values in them from having a good work/school ethic, to taking care of one's health and self. I'd bet my one son will someday show an interest in the iron...he already likes to pose beside me, LOL. If he ever brought up the topic, I'd probably still not disclose my personal experience, but I'd sure make certain he was well educated enough to make his own responsible decisions.

I've got two girls 15 & 17 and they don't know. Some things should be private. But, if they asked I wouldn't lie. I'd explain it to them and emphasize the difference between this and recreational (get high) drugs. Personally, I believe there is a world of difference. I'd never even consider doing marijuana. Not a judgement...just my opinion.
 
I have 3 kids and I think about this quite a bit. I don't particularly like this part of the game anyway as some of you guys already know. I just take the precaution of locking up all my gear in a lock box so that they don't get into it or stumble across it. Lock the doors when taking shots, etc.. The bitch is explaining the insulin in the fridge. My 10 year old wanted to know what it was and I gave her an explanation that was so complicated that she hasn't asked since. She basically thinks I am a diabetic.

I don't like the deceit but what else is there to do? Can you imagine your kid going to school saying that her dad shoots drugs? Social services would be on my doorstep in a heartbeat.

I wrestle with being a born-again Christian trying to raise a 4 yr old boy and a 8 yr old girl in this shithole of a society we live in -let alone my AAS use-they know nothing and never will-I have scrips so thats how I justify the legality issue-everyday I wonder-should I really be doing this??-

I am too, it's the reason I make a distinction between aas use and recreational drug use. I believe aas use puts me on a level playing field to cope since I was born with naturally lower levels.
 
Good thread. I have three kids 10,8,7 years old. They know nothing. I feel there are things about my parents I will never know. I try to instill all the " good morals, work ethic and getting educated." I can. But guys the most important thing I think is above all is to send the time with your kids. They will be gone before you know it.
 
The stigma of "steroids" is so negative. We are WORKING HARD to IMPROVE ourselves and doing it in a controlled safe manner. Yet steroid "users" are considered just as bad as any street-corner junkie in most people's minds. The irony is that a freak that wants to be a different sex get basically the same chemicals prescribed no questions asked! It's tough to explain complex subjects like that to kids. I think those are things people have to discover over time and not in just a single conversation IMO.
