Yep i know of mothers who dose their kids so they can go out drinking. Its disgusting!

When my DD was 22 months old she became very distraught i could not calm her down, neither could DP and we were out in public it has been the ONLY time i had considered it but with further thinking i changed my mind, we ended up going into a chemist where they suggested a single dose of panadol incase she was in pain.
