Anyone else have this problem ?

I honestly think its a balance. I dont want my kids to be so secluded from the real world they dont know how to respond to it. Although you dont drink, do drugs, swear, they WILL be exposed to it. I'd rather they hear it from me than from some kids in the playground.
Kind of funny, my 5yr old asked about smoking and I told her that it is stupid, makes your lungs black, etc. Walking down the street, we pass a few people smkoing and my 3yr old yells out - "Daddy, look at those people smoking, they're stupid, right?"
i think respect and understanding teh consequences of their actions is the most important thing a kids can learn and it sounds like you are doing a great job of it.
