girl, i smoke when my boy is in bed too don’t stress about people have opinions but as long as your child is happy healthy getting fed you don’t have a thing to worry about!! x

as a mom who does wake up, smoke, and then start cleaning/breakfast, it’s ok!! i also smoke during nap time and when she goes to sleep. your baby is happy, healthy, clean, clothed, fed, and loved. that is what truly matters!!

I know this is controversial but I smoke and I breastfeed but I also pay attention to my babies health and everything moms gotta do what moms gotta do to get through the day I’m a single mom so I knew smoking was the only way I could stay sane on my own didn’t wanna rely on antidepressants felt like it made me a zombie

Don’t listen to people girl, the same people judging u are the ones that will have a bottle of wine a night and in my eyes alcohol is worse than weed

Babe I’m hitting my pen while I make pancakes right now! Taking little one to the park after breakfast. Don’t make other peoples negative opinions important to you

Girl f those people! At the end of the day everyone always has an opinion on OTHER people’s lives. You know you’re a good mom your kids are taken care of bills paid then that’s all that matters. They can do whatever they want with their child. Tell them if they don’t like you doing it then stay away. Nothing changing but the day. Lol I hate people sometimes, everyone is so quick to judge.

I have a 13 year old and a 2 year old i smoke before i get out the bed all the way in the morning, again around noonish, SOON as i lay the baby down for a nap, and after I eat dinner and before bed. And no just because i smoke that much doesn’t mean I’m doing it directly in front of them. I could care less what someone thinks. We as moms have to take care of us first in order to take care of everyone else.

I'm just a massive overthinker I over think the smallest things my mind doesn't shut off or slow down at times hence the smoking 🤣 🤣 if not my ADHD arse would be all over the place I think she would end up outside with her shoes on her hand 🤣 🤣 I do tell People to fuck off as it's like me telling you your a bad parent for having a glass of wine or a beer when there in bed we all do thongs to help us I just have having a mind that overthinks the smallest things she is currently throwing her dinner at me 🤣 🤣

As a mom who smokes, you’re good girl. Ignore the haters. Weed helped me not die during my pregnancy (literally and yes my OB was aware-none of the meds she was able to give me worked for context-and my son although born premie is doing amazing and growing really well), and it helps me stay relaxed now and it helps my chronic pain so I can properly care for my son. I hate the stigma around weed, there’s so many benefits! Always here and welcome to making like minded friends! ❤️

Girl you are not a bad mom!

No, you most definitely aren’t a bad mom. Idk why drinking wine and alcohol is so acceptable, but weed isn’t. Such bs.
