Taking cocaine while 20 month old in bed

[hopefully2019]

Right so,

My sister is currently taking drugs and I can't approach her about it. She is with a new boyfriend while her not even 2 year old is in bed. Do I find this wrong/not acceptable because I don't take drugs? Is she well within her right to do what she wants while her child is in bed? I can't quite put into words why I thinks it's wrong.

Can anyone help me understand why this isn't good parenting ? Does anyone disagree with me?

My sister is the same. It's disgusting. What if there was an emergency. What if something went wrong. I suppose we could say the same about alcohol if consumed in great amounts whilst child is there.

As others have said it's completely irresponsible at that age mine have woken with massively high fevers which required me to be alert quickly and only the other night one was vomiting.

There's a time when people have to learn to grow up no one needs to get high/drunk to relax/ have fun.

& For those saying alcohol is as bad, it isn't a unpredictable as drugs, because it's regulated you can tell by looking at the % how much of the active part is in it i.e you know that 20%volume will get you drunk quicker than 5%. You can't with a illegally bought street drug. So you can easily have a glass of wine and know how if will affect you.

You honestly can't predict how people are going to react to drugs I regularly gave sedation (usually a mix of opioids & benzo) to people for various procedures and years of experience has taught me you just can't predict how someone will react, which is why people who give these things are trained for literally years.

Report her to social services.

All of those comparing it to drink - it's also massively irresponsible to get drunk while in sole care of a child. If I go out my husband stays sober or family help babysit. I can't believe there are many where BOTH the adults in the house would get drunk with a baby in bed that they were looking after. Or is it just me?

To be honest it is not great but I have first hand experience that social services won't do anything about it.

My sister was hugely addicted but as long as her daughter was asleep in bed they did nothing.

To be honest I agree with those saying it doesn't render people insensible though.

I think her taking cocaine and her taking cocaine while she is responsible for a child are 2 different issues.
If that's what she wants to do while her child is in someone else's care that's her choice. I personally don't think it's a great choice but each to their own.
However while she is looking after a child is just a no no and is irresponsible.
Ide report her if nothing else it might scare her Into stopping.
