To have found it hilarious when my toddler pretended to smoke?

[MrsMaker]

I just caught her in the kitchen sitting on the chair with one leg crossed smoking an imaginary fag.

It's awful I now but it was really funny.

Tin hats at the ready!

Yeah but it's not funny is it? It's really really not. FFS

First post eh MrsMaker?

No different than a toddler pretending to drink a glass of wine.

She said it was funny - and awful!

funny

Um, yes it is different. Smoking is just terrible for you, wine in moderation is good for you. Totally different. How amusing, my 2 year old has just pretended to snort a line of coke. Bless him.

Let me be the first to say it:

Tripp trapp!
Troll!

yy its hilarious

Perhaps she saw the advert on tv

Depends if the OP smokes I suppose

[shrug]

(ds regularly asks for a pint of fosters when asked (by anyone)what he wants to drink)

Awww sweet .

Are you sure it was a fag? Couldve been a spliff.

I am regular, name changed because I predicted the flaming.

I really did find it funny. Of course she was beraed for it.

Berated, not bered, though that would have been quite cute with the fag.

ooh yes hysterical. Personally I find it hilarious when my 6mo imitates shooting up too.

FFS

Actually my ds does this a lot too. He tells me he will never ever smoke because you can die etc etc, yet it doesn't deter him from pretending every now and then.

It's usually when he's pretending to be a teenager though!

FFS! Why do people get so frigging het up?

diedandgonetodevon - does he really?

Oh yes, a fag and a shot of heroin are the same thing? please.

I would have lol

aye, he's a clever lad. Must've taught him well

i THINK 'HILARIOUS' is a huge over-reaction. Does that really score high on the mirth-o-meter in your house?

But I don't see it as anything serious either.

is this not actually normal toddler behaviour........copying and pretending???

no, not exactly nice regarding it being a fag, but not something to gets so bloody uppity over either.

I have to say, I am an ardent non-smoker, but I think I would giggle too!!!

and then explain why it is BAD to smoke! (and even pretend).

thankgod OP it wasn;t with a real fag

lmao - these threads are soooooooo predictable

She has learnt it from friends of mine who sit at the kitchen table, legs crossed and puff away. So much so they make clouds of smoke.

It doesn't mean she'll soon be on 20 a day, she's 2 ffs, she won't even remember.

Mind you, if the OP name-changed because she knew it would cause trouble, then why bother posting it at all unless you like causing trouble?

It's obv that Mumsnet has it's fair share of nutters, who are attracted to a thread like this, to say that fags and heroin are the same thing. So were you not, OP, just trying to goad the loonies?

So true psych, it would have been a very different tread had I caught her fag in mouth trying to light up.
