As a newbie to mn and after reading through some old posts, i am quite shocked to read some m's chatting openly about there drug use...around children!! Only my opinion, but i think it is very WRONG! I know this is only a select few, but i just can't believe how 'open' they speak about smoking pot and popping pills!! I am happily married with 3 children and just think it plain wrong to let your kids see that sort of stuff. Only my opinion

WHAT?

fgs!

poopscoop · 24/03/2009 20:28

well it is up to the individual what they discuss on here really. I suppose you could hide the threads you are not interested in.

I have not seen it either, but this is what happens on an internet forum.

Bleatblurt · 24/03/2009 20:29

Tis shocking.

C minus.
Must try harder

TigerFeet · 24/03/2009 20:30

I like your username OP - rather a good one for someone complaining about overt drug use

FWIW, I've never seen anyone bragging about drug use on a thread on mn... a few reminisces of times gone past maybe, but nothing more than that.

i've seen a few threads like this (i wouldn't say flaunting though).
aaages ago though.

in fact one was a reg who name chnged and cocked it up so she ended up posting in her proper, well-known name

thing is, that's real people, in real life situations. it's ok to talk about it imo, not that i approve of it, but this is an open forum after all.

onepieceofcremeegg · 24/03/2009 20:31

I've never seen it either on here...

Alcohol - yes
Mooncups - yes
Recreational/Illicit substances - no.

Lindenlass · 24/03/2009 20:32

at mooncups - now that could traumatise a child!

I take st. john's wort in front of my kids...should I stop?

TheLadyEvenstar · 24/03/2009 20:32

hey which of you has the spliff now??? eh eh come on pass it over!!!

JazzHands · 24/03/2009 20:33

I have seen threads where people have discussed their current drug use or more usually their pre-children drug use.

I haven't seen any where people have talked about being off their heads around their kids.

The only thing I can think of is where people have talked about their partners getting drunk and unpleasant and their children witnessing it? Is that what you mean?

AlistairSim · 24/03/2009 20:33

How does anyone get through a day with toddlers without some crack?

Lindenlass · 24/03/2009 20:33

Also, what does being happily married with three children have to do with it???

screamingabdab · 24/03/2009 20:33

? mooncups (is it some kind of contraceptive device?)

onepieceofcremeegg · 24/03/2009 20:33

goatburger anyone?

morningpaper · 24/03/2009 20:33

Also, if you are going to use 'controversial' name-changes, can you avoid slapping TXT SPEAK in them? Because it makes me MAD

Blottedcopybook · 24/03/2009 20:34

Mooncup? Do you snort or smoke that?
