Sorry for the clumsy title! I'll try to keep this short and to the point.

Friend has recently had a baby. She is with the dad, but he is a waste of space. All 3 of them are living off her maternity pay. All they do is smoke weed, as they both did throughout the pregnancy.

I have no doubt that the baby is loved and properly fed, but they don't bath her and will not be immunising her. My friend would not make these kind of decisions if he wasn't influencing her.

They have been signed off by the midwife, who is aware of the weed smoking. The whole thing makes me feel so uncomfortable! But everything must be fine if they've been signed off. So do I just keep my beak out?? Friend has asked to borrow a considerable sum of money from me, but I really don't want to fund this lifestyle, especially when they're doing nothing to help themselves!

The sterilising of bottles is simply not the issue. The baby is being neglected, there are no 2 ways about it. The fact that it's not just the deadbeat boyfriend who is smoking weed but the friend as well means that the OP really has to report it.

Report the weed smoking and not bathing the baby to SS. It's neglect. You can do it anonymously.

@Pengggwn, sorry, I should have addressed that to you. I was meaning to agree with you.
