Trip-Sitting with Your Kids... Good or Bad Idea?

As most people know, I have pretty unconventional ideas. One idea that I'd like to ask you about is babysitting children (children who are your family preferably, not stranger's children) while tripping on LSD.
My friend thinks it's irresponsible, but plenty of people have told me that they love to babysit their kids or grandkids, or play with their pets, while tripping on low to medium doses of acid.
Personally I think it would be a great bonding experience. It brings out the inner child in you, you could get really into playing dolls or trucks or whatever with them.
As opposed to just passively watching them like you normally do, you're engaging with them and taking an active interest in everything that's coming out of their mouths.
You won't be distracted by normal day-to-day things like bills, your cell phone, friends, or whatever else, all your attention would be completely focused on them.
Obviously if they have a track record of acting responsible while on it, I don't see the problem.
What do you guys think? Is it a good or a bad idea?

I wouldn't personally 
You have to think about how long that will last. You don't want the parents coming back and seeing your eyes all like wild. 
I get the playing part, but surely you can do that without the acid? Also, kids whine and moan and it could go downhill fast.

Aw hell naw, I wouldn't do it while watching somebody else's kids. I don't need anybody calling the cops snitching on my ass. I mean hypothetically with your own kids or grandkids or whatever.
One old guy I knew talked about how he loved to babysit his 3 year old grandkid while tripping on lucy.
They'd spent all day looking at crystals and gems and collecting rocks and flowers together and acting like amazed little kids with the wonder and awe of childhood curiosity.
But another of my friends thinks it's irresponsible when I brought it up to him, so I was curious what other people thought.
You might be right about the whining and moaning though, the timing definitely has to be right... it'd probably be the worst to do this with a newborn since they cry so often... I could totally see it turning into a bad trip if they didn't stop crying.

It might be more acceptable when it's family. But the children are smart, and they may sense something is up ? 
It just seems like something you shouldn't do. 
I'm sure you can reach an awe and amazement state without it.

Let's say some kind of medical emergency comes up where you need to call an ambulance, and the paramedics clue in that you're impaired.
I don't think it's a good idea unless another sober adult is around as well.

I think it's fine if they are your own kids or family (nieces and nephews) and it's not like you'd be taking high doses and be out of it.
But a tab or two and chillen, playing kickball or video games with my nieces and nephews sounds like a lot of fun and not irresponsible to me at all if one decided to take a small dose of psychs and is an experienced user.

Haha, right? I could totally see myself getting really into playing GI Joes or dolls with kids while tripping balls. I'd be totally getting into the scenario and all the doll's personal lives and shit. Like "What? Becky's no longer friends with who? Oh girl hell nawwwww"
Or we could spend time making art together, that would also be really fun.

For sure, I honestly wouldn't ever leave the house under the influence, and would probably childproof every single thing in the house first before attempting to even think about it. Put away all my vape juices and meds and store them in a locker and shit, put covers on all the extension outlets in the house, etc.

As is common for people to be "sucked in" to the trip (in my experience anyway), for lack of better words, I think it'd be a pretty scary experience for kids, who are intuitive as all hell, to feel the gravity of an acid trip with someone. Im not articulating this very well...
What I'm trying to say is... basically what you propose could be a whole lot of fun and a great bonding experience, but it could also be a time where your sub conscious decides to drag your mind through the broken glass of a million burnt bridges and emit an aura of pure terror, fear and loathing.
Pretty much that im not prepared to flip the coin and see which side I get when there are kids around.
In saying that, it's been a while now since i regularly tripped, and skeletons are building up in my closet again. If i had the time to really smash my head in for a few weeks and shake the creepy crawlies from my mind, and tripping evolved from seriousness into light hearted psychedelic fun, then fuck yes, it would be awesome.
I guess its contextual.

Hmmm, that's interesting, but that's also why I proposed acid and not say, mushrooms. Cause I've noticed whenever I have a bad trip it's usually from something like mushrooms or another drug. But I personally have never had a bad trip on acid, only been good feelings and smooth sailing for me on that one.

I agree if it was family it would be different and small doses done responsibaly as well. Build some of the sickest pillow forts and shit hahaha Tho to babysit someone elses children and have that amount of responsibility would be different. As well as your niece/nephew might be more prone to listening to you when you want them to go to bed or stop acting up haha That could get very frustrating with someone elses kids let alone your own family hahaha.

I used to look after this kid a few years back n if I was stoned he'd say "you're in lala land again today" so kids are def smarter than they come off.

Damn that would creep me out. How old was he?
I bet if they were like 3, that'd be the perfect age to trip with them. They haven't gotten used to normal life long enough to think oddly if you have an eccentric aura to you, and I feel like they'd be more innocent and pure about laughing along with you while you're tripping.

This is not something that I would do, tripping while caring for my son. If something goes wrong, I'd always blame myself for being on drugs when I should've been sober; it'd be really tough to live with. As it is now, living with a 1 year old, I have the house hella child-proofed, and he STILL finds new ways to do dangerous stuff regularly. I have to be really vigilant with my attention. And I tend to get very easily distracted on acid. And sometimes, my son becomes inconsolable. This can be caused by a innumerrable amount of reasons; everything from over-tiredness (but he doesn't want to nap), to the fact that I won't let him drink the bubble solution when we're playing. When he's on one of these intense crying/screaming jags, I need all my available patience to help him pull through it, something I couldn't do if I was tripping.
Random stuff happens, trust me. Stuff that you can't deal with on a headful of acid. So no, this is not something I would ever do.
A quote of yours from the OP that I'm curious about:
Quote:
As opposed to just passively watching them like you normally do, you're engaging with them and taking an active interest in everything that's coming out of their mouths.
Why do you assume that parents don't "normally...engage" with their child/ren? I'll admit that there are times (usually the very early AM) when I just plop him in front of some cartoons & dick around on my phone, but the vast majority of the time, I'm actively engaged in interacting with my son. So maybe this is why I have no need to take acid while watching him. Not trying to be rude, but why do you feel that parents (I'm assuming you used the generalized "you" in the above quote to address all parents & potential parents) don't normally actively interact with their children? That really struck me as odd. Is that some kind of statement about how you were raised? About how you might raise children?
But yeah, I'm with your friend on this.

He was like 7? The first time he said it, it scared the FUCK out of me. I just kind of looked at him paralyzed for a second thinking "what the fuck. This demon is in my head?!" Then for the rest of that day I was afraid of him
Yeah 5-8 year olds are devilish beings and should be treated as such where my cross and holey water at?

I'm just imagining somebody who just came home from work and is tired and just wants to kind of unwind and chill out a bit first. Somebody who is in this type of state of mind is probably going to plop in front of the TV and place their kids in front of the set with a couple of toys, so they can keep their kid in their tunnel of vision while at the same time keeping an eye on them.
For sure there are days where people engage with their kids, but the truth is you have to be in a certain mood to be actively engaging and be really enthusiastic about it. And surely there are many times when parents are exhausted and just want to zone out for a bit...
I mean nobody can possibly be actively engaging 100% of the time. It's not possible even engaging with other adults 24/7.

You were probably just acting super stoned, unbeknownst to you, but obvious to even a child. It doesn't take a telepath to recognize when someone is high.
