There may be worse things than a druggie parent but not many emiwo

PussinJimmyChoos · 14/03/2011 21:28

I'd rather have an overweight parent than a crackhead!

food abuser? Shock

Dropdeadfred · 14/03/2011 21:29

noone on here can tell what kind of father he will make.
I have seen far worse fathers to be on this programme

Jess - why are you blaming the person with an acknowledged illness rather than the supposedly intelligent woman?

msrisotto · 14/03/2011 21:30

If we weren't cynical, judgemental, whatever, we'd be naive.

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 14/03/2011 21:30

Having looked after children who lost their mum, I think youll find they would rather have any parent, tnan none at all!

Sparklyboots · 14/03/2011 21:30

lol saggy old name's too long to remember cat puss

sheeplikessleep · 14/03/2011 21:30

agree with dropdeadfred

JessRabbit · 14/03/2011 21:30

Not an illness a choice, he's not passive in this.

cupofteaplease · 14/03/2011 21:30

I don't think this dad is any more annoying than chip man last week. Now he was irritating!

At least he is up front about being a methadone user, this will have been flagged up on her notes surely, so there will be monitoring in place after the baby is born, I assume. It would be more scary if he was still on heroin, or trying to hide his addiction.

I'm not ready to judge yet.

noeyedear · 14/03/2011 21:31

I thought inductions would work straight away if you were that overdue? (shudders while getting ready for night of castor oil, horizontal tango and vindaloo)

Oakley seems to have had charmed childhood ..rebelled against adoring spoiling parents and now look

I imagine she'll be back in the bosom before too long

darleneconnor · 14/03/2011 21:31

Just because he's on methodone doesn't mean he isn't also scoring heroin.

ShowOfHands · 14/03/2011 21:31

Watch your language JessRabbit.

Addicts are not despicable by default. You are being shown a snapshot of lives here. I'd hate to be recovering from an addiction and having to deal with some of the attitudes around it.

sheeplikessleep · 14/03/2011 21:32

what is annoying me more is that the 'young persons' midwife - is she deliberately trying to be 'cool'?

londonone · 14/03/2011 21:32

by the time you are on methadone it's really an illness. Initially out of choice but an illness none the less.

darleneconnor · 14/03/2011 21:32

how overdue is she?

BellaMagnificat · 14/03/2011 21:32

Think Honda will have other things to spend money on now than C4 programmes, very very sadly....

Meglet · 14/03/2011 21:32

true darlene Sad. I was trying to look on the bright side.

Liv77 · 14/03/2011 21:32

FFS stop whining about your bloody chair Nancy

StantonLacy · 14/03/2011 21:32

noeyedear - umm, no. I was ten days over when induced and it took another three days in hospital for induction to work.
Not much fun !

shmoz · 14/03/2011 21:33

noeyedear nah, I was 2 weeks over and my induction took 2 days

travellingwilbury · 14/03/2011 21:33

I love the whining Nancy , she is so oblivious to everything going on around her

BalloonSlayer · 14/03/2011 21:33

Carole has a beautiful face.
