Here in Australia in the country regional area we have been told it is an tolerable acceptance for the mother to be both dependant on perscription and illegal drugs (both of which she abuses) and prostitution is acceptable, her boyfriend is also a drug addict and is allowed to look after the children when she is out 'working' even though they were taken from her care 12 months ago 'cos he poured petrol over their car and threatened to light it while the kids were in it and has also tried to hang himself and felt it his place to tell the 10 year old girl why mummy is a prostitute and what a prostitute does. These people are in their late twenties, don't work (personally I do not consider 'prostitution' a work option, here we have access to government institutes for further education and such)The towns are only small populations under 30,000 so the kids are eventually going to have to deal with hearing things about mummy. I think it is selfish and immature am I wrong if not what to do.
