To be shocked at this?

NC as I know you can get flamed on these kind of threads and I probably will Grin.
Just seen two girls with a baby both walking down a main road smoking and drinking cans of Fosters beer. This was about an hour ago so 10 am on a Friday morning. AIBU to be shocked? They didn't seem to trying to hide the beer so to them I assume they don't see anything wrong with it.

Yes, I'd be shocked.

Fosters is utterly disgusting. Anyone drinking it when there are so many great beers available should be locked up immediately.

Out of GCSEs early today, time to relax Wink

Takes serious skill to smoke fags, hold cans and walk with a baby.

I've not quite managed it.

I wouldn't be shocked. It's not great to be drinking lager at 10am in the morning, and I think smoking should be banned.

But we don't know anything about their life so...

SignedUpJust4This · 24/05/2019 13:42

But more importantly do they have toilet brushes? If so report them

Doesn't sound like you live in a salubrious area

You should have thrown a milkshake at them to indicate your disgust.

I'd be shocked. Maybe that makes me stuffy, old-fashioned, pearl-clutchy, whatever. No, I wouldn't know anything about their lives, but I think smoking around a baby is pretty reprehensible whatever the circumstances and I see absolutely no need to be walking down the street drinking in the morning with a small child in your care. It's a pretty crappy example to be setting and implies that you're not taking your responsibility for them particularly seriously.

I'm shocked that anyone would smoke with a baby around. Agree with nornironrock that Fosters is grim!

Vulpine · 24/05/2019 14:03

Yep that doesn't sound good

herculepoirot2 · 24/05/2019 14:07

Girls? Like, 14 year olds?

Eliza9919 · 24/05/2019 14:09

I wouldn't be shocked but I would judge.

Used to see this in Dudley all the time. Normally accompanied by a foot long Greg's sausage roll to top it off.
