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

Oh my word. How judgey.

FelineOk · 25/03/2009 16:36

I don't take herion, or cocaine, or even smoke weed anymore. (GP said I was going mad).

So I take valium.

there.

bid deal? To me, yes. To OP - No. get yourself a life.

scaredoflove · 25/03/2009 16:38

felineok, that could have prompted it but there was another recently too, more recreational... so it does happen on here and the op may have a point

FelineOk · 25/03/2009 16:38

It's Not so mellowma btw.

OrmIrian · 25/03/2009 16:39

mrsmattie - how could you use the words 'nice' and 'decent' to describe drug users? Go wash you mouth with carbolic

Everyone knows that all people who take drugs froth at the mouth and never wash and are generally terrible people.

MrsMattie · 25/03/2009 16:40

I don't really understand the point of these 'Don't you think XYZ makes this person a bitch of a mother?' type threads. To make the OP feel better about their own parenting? Why on earth else would you bother?

The irrelevant details are always a dead giveaway too. 'I am happily married with three kids'. Lovely story. And? Sounds like a case of smuggery to me.

This spliff has given me the munchies.

[runs off to get Greggs sausage roll and a fruit shoot).

Where are these drug threads? Have never seen one.

Mumcentreplus · 25/03/2009 16:56

If I had 3 kids I would definately do Crack!...but I only have 2 so a Spliff will do!

piscesmoon · 25/03/2009 17:08

I am glad two other people saw the threads and I didn't imagine them!

FelineOk · 25/03/2009 17:19

DEAN ?

Hmm actually, don't bother explaining. I can imagine.

Lulumama · 25/03/2009 18:08

valium, when prescribed by a doctor is a legitimate and legal 'drug'

i presume the OP never drinks wine, certainly not when her children are around, or has ever smoked or had a double espresso to kickstart the day.

i have seen maybe one or two threads where you could possibly thing drug use was being 'falunted', but more where the vast majority are not terribly keen on parents, not just mothers, using drugs/alcohol to the point of insensibility

there have been a few breastfeeding and drugs trheads, but not that many

certainly not enough to start a judgey AIBU thread about IMO

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 25/03/2009 18:09

sorry, it was on a thread last night.

CoteDAzur · 25/03/2009 18:27

I've seen quite a few threads on drugs on MN. I've never seen one where people were bragging about doing drugs around their DC (as OP claims).

Lawks · 25/03/2009 18:34

Do people think it's okay to pop a few pills before paying your dealer? Or is that stealing? I know technically he should weigh the whole amount, but to be honest they make so much money that surely a few pills as I'm doing my weekly score isn't going to bother anyone?

PinkTulips · 25/03/2009 18:39

[coughs]

what? where?

awful, really awful. you'd never catch me behaving like that.

what do you mean what am i holding?
oh that?
that's a vase... what?
no it's supposed to have holes in the side and sticky out bits, decorative, ya know?
what smoke?
oh, that......[cough] erm... decoratative? bit like heston blumanthal's food... add's atmosphere to the floral arrangment. what flowers? ooooh, yeah, they died...

[slinks off to put bong vase away]

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 25/03/2009 19:26

Lawks, eh? I've never heard of anyone weighing pills. Maybe pharmacists....

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 25/03/2009 19:31

feeed the world....

CoteDAzur · 25/03/2009 20:26

Lawks confuses pills with grapes and dealers with supermarkets

PinkTulips · 25/03/2009 20:33

nobody weighs them, far more fun to try counting hundreds of tiny pills while off your face........

23, 24, 25, 26, rabbits, elephants, 31, 32, 33, 36..............

CoteDAzur · 25/03/2009 20:38

hundreds
