Infertility

Has Anyone Seen the Story of the Smoking Baby?

It was on the news today. There is (no joke) a 2 year old baby in Indonesia whose parents have taught to smoke. Apparently he smokes two packs a day. And apparently this is not illegal in Indonesia because the parents are not hiding it and this kid is all over the news and internet.

As if that's not bad enough, he's also 55 pounds. He's so big that he can't really walk so instead he sits on this little bike to walk himself around.

This story is making me so angry I could scream! I mean why in the world are these parents blessed with a child when so many of us are going through what we are going through? this world really sucks sometimes.

    I wanted to vomit when I saw the video.  And the first words out of my mouth to DH were, WTF can they have kids and we can't? 

    AND apparently the Indonesian government offered them a car if they stop giving the child cigarettes and they refused!  They claim that he cries and throws tantrums if they take the cigarettes away, so they "can't."  Unfreakingbelievable!
