I'm sure I've got a photo of my mum holding DB like that!

Would you say the same if she had a glass of wine in her hand?

minime1 · 04/10/2009 17:53

Well, no because her ds wouldnt be drinking the wine, as he is, in fact, smoking that fag.

your link what exactly is your point the image looks staged and un-spontaneous

most likely to provoke a response and get folk frothing about young mums. emm much like you are by saying "need a slap"

thumbscrewwitch · 04/10/2009 17:55

why notagranny, would the fumes from a glass of wine be as dangerous as the smoke?

No. Do you think you need some sense knocking into you though? It might make you think more intelligently around the issues.

SCOFF!!!!

We use that picture library at work.

scottishmummy · 04/10/2009 18:05

LOL they have loads of hackneyed photos if you google jupiter images

something stereotypical for everyone

notagrannyyet · 04/10/2009 18:27

Don't get me wrong minime. Of course smoking around little ones is very wrong. But in my mum's day (she would be in late 70s now) people were not so aware of the dangers. Mum would however have looked down on any parent drinking alcohol whilst caring for children.

And no I don't think a mum drinking wine and caring for a baby is a good thing. But that's just my opinion.

scottishmummy · 04/10/2009 19:46

wine-kept me sane post birth and probably contributed to getting up nelly duff in first place

there is a picture in the photo album of my mum holding me as a baby.fag in one hand, cuppa tea in the other

she reports regularly had a fag whilst feeding

Mermaidspam · 04/10/2009 20:05

What? People smoke around their babies? OMG!

(Is it just me that already knew this happened?)

SardineQueen · 04/10/2009 20:09

ROFL @ this compared to other current smoking thread.

You really never can guess what mn reaction is going to be...

scottishmummy · 04/10/2009 21:09

SardineQueen · 04/10/2009 21:23

Well yes sm, I assumed that pic you linked to was you. Looking good

scottishmummy · 04/10/2009 21:33

SardineQueen · 04/10/2009 21:36
