Someone I know (very close relative) has a little girl of 18mths old and I have been told by the father that his wife smokes weed in the house although not in the same room as her child, the child has free access to the room when it isn't being smoked, I think this is really wrong as well as illegal and I don't think it is safe to have a high parent responsible for a young child.
I know it sounds judgy and I could be mistaken and high parents make very responsible parents but I am worried for the child.
There are other issues as well but nothing else illegal although morally wrong so I'm not sure if SS will take it seriously.
FWIW the child is well cared for, although one other concern is smoking in front of the child who has asthma.
I have tried talking to the mother but I think she just thinks I'm interfering and tells me that all the HCP haven't a clue what they are talking about and there is no danger.
WWYD?

GwynAndBearIt she is bringing up her child as a rascist, teaching words as "paki" and "nigger" and to point shouting it Hmm she isn't the nicest woman in the world, she is also trying to teach her to swear for a laugh.
Like I say it isn't illegal just wrong in my opinion.

I agree that is not appropriate to teach these things to a child. It would irritate me beyoned belief...but as you say ...not socially acceptable or morally right, but not illegal.

Other than expressing your feelings about her doing this in your company there isn't much you can do to stop it. Her dh should be dealing with these issues...if they even b other him

I wouldn't be drunk round a toddler and i wouldn't be high on drugs round a toddler either.
