Would These Pot-Smoking Parents Be More Likely To Arrive At The School Gates Wearing Pyjamas?

What kind of an example are they setting for their children?

Not in this weather!

Only if the pyjamas have a pocket to keep their cigarettes and lighter in.

Yeah they would. They'd just put their dressing gown on as well :)

Back to the point. Round here, without fail, you will smell cannabis if you walk down the road. Many, many people open smoke it quite openly whilst they are going about their business, it's shame they can't leave it alone for 10 minutes whilst collecting their kids from school.

I find this far more 'outrageous' than parents wearing pyjamas. In fact it's not even vaguely funny. A hard line needs to be taken.

I've read of some parents swigging from cans of lager while taking their kids to school (in their pyjamas) but this is too much. I'm not against people having a drink or a smoke but why do it at the school gate? I'd have been horrified if I'd seen anyone do that at my son's school. It makes everything about the place look a bit scuzzy.

Arghhhhh. I wish there was a flamin edit button on here!!

Prudie, //A hard line needs to be taken. //

Short of calling the police, I don't see what can be done. These people obviously see no wrong in what they're doing.

[Old_Geezer]

But you're not legally allowed to smoke in the school buildings any more so they have to do it outside. They'll be telling them that they can't shoot up heroin next ! Don't parents have any human rights ? Join 'Parents 4 Pyjamas" now and hassle your local MP.

LOL@OG!

[Hopkirk]

I don't even know what it smells like

[douglas9401]

A bit like chicken, Hopkirk.

[Prudie]

Naomi yes calling the police (who'd probably do FA) crossed my mind. I've smoked cannabis in the past along with many people but the mindset of a parent who'd do it in front of primary age children doesn't deserve to be a parent. I don't know why I feel so strongly about it but I do.

[mikey4444]

Sandy....I was thinking exactly the same as you when I read this in yesterdays Guardian !

[naomi24]

Prudie, I know what you mean. I feel like that about a lot of things some parents do around children.

[youngmafbog]

Unfortunately all part of the me me me society. It will get much worse before it gets better.

[murraymints]

at least they are getting their kids to school !

[Jackdaw33]

Fascists! The lot of you! Why can't people parade in public in their jimjams, swig lager and smoke pot? It's their 'ooman rights, innit?

[webbo3]

It make you wonder what they do for a living, if the answer is nothing then they are spending their benefits on pot and not their children, if they are working then what kind of job do they have to be able to go to work stoned and do they drive to get there, which would mean driving under the influence of drugs.

I'd give the police a ring and let them have a little walk past in plain clothes.

when I saw this title I thought, I wonder how many posts it will take before alcohol is mentioned, yep cleverjo didn't let me down, 5! Listen everybody, the fluffy bunny wonder harmless, cure all ills, good drug is good, nasty wasty booze is bad. Are we all clear on that?
