I don’t think keeping something from your kids is gaslighting them. If they ask you about it and you make them feel their suspicion is unfounded or unfair that would be gaslighting.

Well i keep things from my kids at times also.  But I never gaslight them. Thats the key.

Would you or do you smoke pot in front of your children?

I don’t smoke but if I did I would be honest about it with my oldest (14) but I would not smoke in front of him. 

I do occasionally take a gummy. My wife was working in the cannabis industry until she needed to take time off to recover from surgery. She used to get sample products all the time. We always made an effort to keep them out of sight of the kids. 

But that’s just our thing. Doesn’t mean you are doing it wrong.
