OT: Woman Allows 3 Year Old Son To Smoke

[Enigma869]

For the first and only time in my life, I actually have a desire to visit the UK just so I can personally slap the shit out of this moronic bitch!

Unbefreakinglievable. Seriously, I'm just... ... I'm without comment.
I think all that electric blue eyeliner seeped into her head and affected her judgement.

Why aren't people screened for stupidity before being allowed to breed?
(Yeah I know... we'd become extinct...)

The moment I saw 'Welsh Authorities', I asked myself 'what odds Valleys chav?' Sure enough, Merthyr Tydfil single mum, 24 with 3 kids... why am I not suprised?

Pretty stupid indeed. But basically no different than the babies and kids I take care of with asthma and their parents stink like hell with cigarette smoke , and so do the kids, PATHETIC for a baby or child's clothes to smell like smoke . And then their parents wonder why the kids have chronic coughs and wheezing and have to be seen all the time.

Or like the newborn I just took care of recently who full term weighed barely over 5 pounds. And why? Mom freely admitted she smoked all through her pregnancy and yes, she indeed smelled like it. Nice

I've actually had moms tell me that they smoked because they didn't want to have a big baby.

AND, when the baby screams non stop because she is going through nicotine withdrawal I don't sugar coat it when the mom asks why the baby won't stop crying. DRIVES ME CRAZY!

The school bus driver who slammed on her brakes to dump the kids out of their seats (video further down the page) is a prize winner too.

My mother-in-law smoked all through her pregnancies because back then they didn't "know any better" (I love that saying! ) My husband weighed almost 9 lbs so I'm guessing he would have been a 13 pounder had she not smoked He HATES any kind of smoke to this day because of how she totured them growing up with her smoke all around them, never caring it bothered them. Even used to make them all sit in the smoking section of the plane because they were a family and should sit together! So GLAD she quit before we had kids. And I am all for people rights to do what they want with their own bodies. It's another thing to infringe it upon others though, especially children who are helpless and growing and can be harmed.

Not necessarily. My mom smoked through both of her pregnancies... my sister was 8+ lbs and I was 6 lbs. And yeah, we grew up in a home with both parents smoking up a freakin' storm. And its the same excuse... "people didn't know back then". I always say "Back then? It was 1976, its not like dad was riding the brontosaurus to work or anything. I might accept that if I was born in the 50s, but give me a break.

Agreed 100%. I've never once lit up around anyone under the age of 18 and everyone else I always ask if it bothers them or not. I never minded at all when people smoked around me before I started, but I always appreciated when they would ask. It's just common courtesy... or I guess maybe not-so-common.

Not all smokers are that courteous! And I remember you asking me if Vegas if it bothered me, so I know you do that My MIL was not like that though. The stories he has, she just didnt' care, and I believe it because members of his extended family who still smoke, don't really care either. He had to yell at a cousin when my son was a baby who lit up right next to him on a couch when we were in Jersey visiting. She said "well I do it around my nieces and nephews, I didn't know it would bother you"

I would have punched her right in the gut for that! My family members who smoke don't smoke in their houses (some have screened in porches some just go outside) because we have a lot of babies and kids in the family now and we don't want them in it! ...Even my one aunt who used to smoke in the house (as well as her husband) had two Oreck air purifiers going at once and you'd never even know.

And for the record... if this had been in America, she would have lost her kids and had a much stiffer punishment than she got. I'm shocked she just got a light slap on the wrist for it!

[Melissa]

I know not everyone born to a smoking mother is low birth weight, but the majority are, it does cause low birth weight.

Me too. And with me, its not just smoking, its anything where your children and their health are concerned. My mother rolls her eyes in an inappropriately judgemental way at a lot of the things my sister does with her two kids, and I'm talking normal, well within reason things, like not smoking around the kids or things like "oh, she doesn't allow them to have this or that... I'll get yelled at if I give that to them... *eyeroll* ", as if she's personally offended by the fact that someone has said, "No, I don't want them to have that." My response to anyone who does that is, "Um... its not your child." She doesn't smoke around the kids but she does get annoyed by the fact that she can't.

My ex-mother-in-law used to to that too. She would totally make snide comments about other peoples' parenting. Once it was my friends' baby... she was a month old and there was a barbecue... baby's mom had her in a snuggly, and the baby was out like a freakin' light, slept through the whole thing. MIL bitched about it later, telling me that she "better NOT ever catch" me doing that, bring a month old baby to a noisy party. Never had to bite my tongue harder than that day. I wanted to tell her to fuck off on the spot.

Not all young mother's are quite so stupid. When my mother was 24 she had
4 girls...oh yeah, good Catholic Woman. She also became a college graduate in
the midst of all that. She was married to our father, however....perhaps it was he
who stopped the insanity!!

True. Not all young mothers are like that.
In fact, my oldest sister, who used to smoke, stopped when she was pregnant the 1st time... after the baby was born she had picked it back up for a short while. The baby was in his high chair one day, and he raised his hand and mimicked her smoking gesture. She stopped smoking THAT day and hasn't done it since.

(that same child is now 25 and smokes, but I don't attribute it to her)

Did anyone else love buying candy cigarettes when they were kids? The ones where when you puff on them "smoke" (candy powder) plumes out?
Apart for being around loads of smokers my whole life, I remember being about 4 and playing upstairs at my dad's girlfriend's house with her two kids and we found an ashtray with half-smoked cigs in it and picked them up and pretended to be smoking. I can also remember being 8 years old on the school playground after school one day and two 17 year-old (cute, might I add) boys waiting to pick their little brothers up from T-Ball were sitting in the swings with me and they were smoking and no one seemed to mind that!

The world really has changed a lot in the past couple of decades in regards to smokers.

The candy cigs were my favorite! 10 cents a pack! They still make them but they don't taste the same (and YES I did buy them when I saw them because I couldn't believe they even made them... lol) I never really pretended to smoke them. I just chowed down on them like they were crack... imagine Cookie Monster, except with candy smokes. That was me. OM NOM NOM!

OMG!! My cousin bought a case of the candy ones last year, because she hadn't seen them in a years. So her 3rd grade son sneaks a box of them and brings them to school. She got a call from the teacher because he was pushing them to other kids on the playground during recess

I feel the same way. The only time it did really matter to me is when I was pregnant, if we were out somewhere, esp. restaurants, and since there's no smoking in them here, smokers stand RIGHT by the door so you have to walk through their smoke to get in the door. It drove me nuts, I would usually pull my shirt up over my nose while I walked by Pretty smart-ass thing to do I know, but I didn't care, esp. since it was obvious I had another human being on board, lol. Now when we're out with our kids and encounter the same problem I just hurry them by, but kids are the kings and queens of stating the obvious, and our son once proclaimed "Man that stinks!" . Any other time I would have told him to hush, but I didn't then, lol.

I have bad allergies to cigarette smoke. In a crowded room full of smoke my eyes can swell shut, and my air waves constrict. Now take a child who starts to develope allergies, and mix them with a moron parent who feels their right to smoke is more important than their child.

I have seen a man blow cigarette smoke in an infants face and laugh about the baby coughing......... I almost came out of my chair at him, then the waitress told him he could not smoke inside the restaraunt and everyone around was releived. The bad thing is the child had to go home with this idiot..............

It has to a degree and thank goodness for that! I was beyond stunned when I lived in North Carolina for 13 months how much more prevalent smoking was, compared to many other parts of the country I've been to. Perhaps it's because tobacco is a locally grown crop and smoking is part of the culture? I'm not sure what the reason is but it seemed as if almost 80% of everyone I met in NC was a smoker. It almost seemed odd to encounter so many smokers, because I wasn't sure that there were this many people left in the country who actually still smoked. I was also struck by the fact that in the part of the state I lived in, that smoking wasn't really banned in any public buildings. I personally don't believe that smoking should be allowed ANYWHERE in the public! Let people smoke themselves into a freakin' coma in the privacy of their own homes. It's a vial, disgusting habit that other people shouldn't have to be exposed to

That's totally why it is so prevalent down there. Also why they're so cheap, which doesn't help matters.
