fuming at irrsponsible pub

barbiedoll

OP's son clearly has addictions to both alcohol and gambling, not to mention his nicotine habit.

He is managing to hold down a (cash in hand?) job, so is to be commended at least, for working for a living. However, with his range of addictions, he would probably be able to go to see his GP, to arrange for extensive counselling and/or therapy sessions. This may result in him being able to claim benefits for being unable to work or function in normal society.

OP may well be able to claim further benefits as she is obviously his carer (I'm sure that bum-wiping counts as care) and may even qualify for a bigger house!

OP should also contact the Police/Trading Standards/local vigilante group immediately who will be able to, prosecute the pub owner, as well as the owner/operator of said gambling machine/close down the pub/burn it down, hunt down the landlord, fit him with a pair of concrete boots and send him swimming with the fishes.

Everyone's a winner.

One further thing. I do hope that OP isn't smoking whilst breastfeeding. That is a VERY BAD THING, no-one likes flicking fag ash on their baby when it is feeding. Expressing is the way to go, you then have at least one hand free to hold your fag/roll-up/e-cig.

No wonder this country is in such a mess with your parenting skills, or lack of them OP.

Maybe someone close to you needs to report you to the social work department so that you may get help with parenting skills.

I hope your son has seen how easy it is to lose all his money gambling.
