Wits end

MOnica, your advice is good.
In no way am I condoning drug use especially around children. I'm worried about the smoke almost as much as the drug use.
Sadly, drug use is so common that most families referred to children's services will be using substances, and/or drinking to excess. There has been another increase in children taken into care during this pandemic. The lack of support and preventive services is a major problem. The law says children's services must offer support to prevent children coming into care. Government cuts mean services are as rare as hens teeth.
But yes, MOnica is right in her advice.

Does it not depend on how" significant" is the cannabis use? May be they will not be using it during the child care hours.. Are they generally competent in visible ways? Do they keep a clean house? Are they criminals? Are they gamblers? Are they seriously mentally defective?

Significant that they start from the minute they wake (late) to going to bed in the early hours.
The Grandma can't go to see him at my Daughters house without having a smoke in the hour or so period she stays.
Erratic behaviour, mood swings.

Are you certain that nursery or child minder is not an option? Remember if they qualify for universal credit and are both working then up to 85% of the cost will be covered by the Government. It might be worth them getting a benefit check try turn2us or entitledto for these. Also can either of them qualify for child care vouchers from their employers towards child care costs?

Your daughter needs help and pronto. Passive smoking doesn't just apply to cigarettes. Cannabis smoking is just the same and just as bad for those having to inhale it. Having had an abusive husband myself, her partner is unlikely to change. She seems to be bullied by his entire family and he lets it happen. It doesn't show respect to her or their baby. I appreciate she is an adult and can make her own decisions but sometimes in life people need help and advice. On a personal level I would be unable to accept knowing my grandchild was being 'cared' for in a house with drug users. I would be finding Social Services phone number.
