to think this was really sad

I was in the park today and suddenly noticed that I could smell weed. Initially I assumed it was teenagers and was a bit cross, wondered vaguely if it was one of those bushes that can smell a bit like it, but then realised that it was a mum there with her 4 DC, one of who had to be no older than 2. She was basically ignoring the three youngest and chatting with her teenager most of the time, with the occasional glance at the toddler and a call to the middle two (who were primary age) to look after the little one.

The saddest thing was when the children were coming up to her to talk to her, ask for cuddles etc and she didn't even put the joint down, just carried on smoking it, waving it in their faces. DS moved away from the sandpit at this point and when we went back later, the smell had disappeared, until the teenager lit up what looked like a cigarette as well, but didn't smell like one either :(

I know it can be normal to some people but around children, I never thought it would be used so casually.

It is more and more prevalent, and they always get my best paddington stare or cats bum face.. I hate the bloody smell of it.

I quite like the smell of it which isn't relevant, but that is awful to smoke weed in front of children. A park isn't even an adult type pace.

Could you imagine cracking open a can of Stella in a kids park?

OP, YANBU.

I walked past a group of 3 people yesterday, one was pushing a pram.I wasn't really looking at them so didn't notice any of them smoking but as I passed them I walked through such a cloud of weed that one at least must have been smoking it. I was rather shocked. Sad

Hmmm, the can of stella bit.. if it was two mums sharing a bottle of wine, having a picnic, would you feel the same.. Grin

YADNBU how awful :(

It amazes me that people think it's ok to do that.

bobbly - I did major cat bum face a few days ago when a dad picked their son from school at 2.45pm with a bottle of stella in hand Hmm

I saw a heavily pregnant woman (looked full term) hauling ass to the maternity hospital with her DP while smoking a huge spliff. He asked me aggressively what the fuck I was looking at. Confused

DontGoCurly maybe it was medicinal :o

BobblyGussets, I regularly see parents drinking from tins of beer in the park at lunchtime Sad

It's still a criminal offence despite the relaxation in the law on possession, though, so you'd have to be pretty fucked in the head brave to do it so blatently
