Yet another sign that parental standards are dropping.

Dear mew, no just I do not suffer self righteous idiots who think they are the best parents in the world or to offer who is
I am not surprised you are a bore and do nothing different, but expect others to do as you do
People all the time again drink with their children in the house and are not irresponsible which you seem to think it is, but then as seen, you seem to have the intelligence of a hamster, so I am not surprised
Most people who smoke actually makes them have more clarity as most do not have countless joints, which makes them stoned but again because you are so stupid you would not know this
So you then add with the most idiotic beliefs based on no medical or qualified position to state in regards to me

I would not trust you round children in a million years, as you seem a complete idiot
It also shows you have absolutely zero understanding of drugs

I love how you are hiding behind what your real identity is, now that is being and utter coward, or just fuels further my position you should not b e trusted around children, as you know doubt have some warped and twisted morality on how to raised them.
I suggest you take a long hard look at yourself before you judge others as parents as there is nothing worse than self righetous idiots

  You seem overly concerned about who I am.

Nope....but I know plenty of people who do....none in front of their young kids though....they have more sense.

What nonsense

So how people dress is not being a good parent based on what gibberish exactly?

Or smoking cannabis

More likely to be chilled out parents

I think it's not the matter of dress, more undress really. If a parent cant be bothered to get dressed out of their PJ's and slippers to take their kids to school, I doubt whether they can be bothered to make them breakfast or hold a job down themselves....and if they can they should get their finger out and set a good example to the kids.

It's not the fact that they are smoking cannabis, it's the fact that they are smoking it in front of their kids....who will all be under the age of 11.

Not sure how anyone in their right mind can condone that.

As for smoking - I wouldn't smoke at a school gates even if I did smoke outside ( if I smoked fags, which I don't, I wouldn't smoke them either)

Cannibis is much less harmful and less addictive than
tobacco - and some research suggests that it could have health benefits.

KD's post about his children is spot on tbh.
I don't smoke in front of my kids, I have a small spliff occasionally if a mate comes round or I simply fancy one. And that's when my youngest is in bed.
My son is a teen, and knows more about weed than me from research - he and his mates seem to know loads on this kind of thing.
He doesn't smoke and isn't fazed by it.

My dad used to smoke it; my mum hated it so he pretended he didn't lol

Didgers doesn't seem to be able to grasp that concept, Syl.    Any responsible parent wouldn't  do recreational drugs in front of their kids.   I haven't said once that taking drugs makes you a shit parent.   Taking drugs in front of your kids does.   Slopping around in  your jimjams all day is just slovenly and symptomatic of our times.   Does that make them bad parents?  Not necessarily.   But it does make them bad role models.   If someone can't be arsed to take a wash and put on clean clothes and underwear every day.......well, I rest my case.

So you have no idea what you are talking about then Sly

Again the only reason you have issues is because its illegal

Its a drug just like alcohol and tobacco is, yet would you say parents should not do these in front of them?

No, so your argument does not old up

That's a narrow minded way of looking at things.

A person does not have to experience everything personally  to know whether it's right or wrong.

I have never gotten drunk in front of my son (when he was young) either....so does that negate my opinion on that to?

I would have thought it would teach a very valuable lesson......dont break the law (or at least dont be a twerp and do so publicly)....not liking a law is NO excuse for breaking it

I don't even think it's that they are smoking in public... it's the fact that they are smoking in front of their young kids at the school gates when they are dropping them off and picking them up.

lol the Police are that much more relaxed on Cannabis and on one spliff being smoked do you think they are going to arrest a parent?

Come on

  If both parents smoke children are four times more likely to smoke themselves.  99 percent of children who started smoking young came from families with at least one adult smoker.   That's a very high percentage.

Well according to the link in the OP..(which you obviously still have not read) they are taking this seriously.

It's not the fact that they are smoking cannabis...it's the fact that they are doing it in front of young kids at the school gate. (third time I have said this)

You are funny. You talk about people looking down on others and feeling superior, yet the way you post makes you come across as the most pedantic little man barking out insults and orders......sod off.

I have already  answered your barkings.....drinking is not against the law so it's not wrong to drink responsibly in front of their kids.
The key word here is RESPONSIBLE.....when cannabis is made legal I'm sure the debate will be different, till then what I have already said stands.

Passive smoking is a danger to kids health, though I know many committed smokers like to pretend otherwise.

I would not smoke anything in front of kids if they were in breathing distance of the smoke ...be it legal or otherwise.

I agree with those words eddie, giving kids your time and love is the most important thing.

Forget the legality of it for a moment....most people here are not arguing against anyone taking the drug anyway....it's where they are doing it which is the concern.

Alcohol is legal, would it be right iyo to turn up to school to drop the kids off swigging alcohol?

Well that's all common sense of course.

I swear in front of my kids. That's not to say I go round effing and blinding all day and for no apparent reason, but if my other half annoys me a lot I'll say "Oh for fucks sake!"

My son is 15 and he sometimes swears around his friends but I don't allow it all,the time and he wouldn't dream of swearing in front of his aunts or his nan.

My sis in law never swore in front of her kids and yet they both swear - they're the same age ish as my son - and none of them swear loads but will slip in the occasional one.

As didge says and in a way he's nearly right, you cannot wrap kids in cotton wool.
Especially as they get older - they already know loads - I'd rather have an open and honest relationship with my son then him hiding everything.

Not concerned where they are doing this, as its just smoking

What is being smoked is just different

So how does it in anyway be different from tobacco smoking?

Its not

In other words you are still being a smob
