She won't pass a drug test she smokes crack I'm just so over her I guess I'll just have to be straight up and tell her thanks so much ladies

I would make her pass drug tests until baby is born to be around baby. Then once baby comes pop random drug tests on her and if anything comes back positive or shady tell her she can not be in contact anymore. She does not sound responsible for herself and would not be around the child.

I just don't want to give her a chance at all because I don't trust her

Tell her that if she wants to be a part of your childs life then she has to get her crap together.  Period. Dont beat around the bush. Is that someone you really want your child around? I think everyone deserves a chance but she has to prove she is willing.

Another thing that concerns me is that she gets so jealous of my boyfriend when he accomplishes anything and that's her son but since she been in and out of his life she views him like a friend she will offer hI'm to smoke weed with her when ever she sees him she only sees us when we go to his grandmothers house because she now lives there

I dont rhink you should leave her alone with the baby but maybe play dates / lunch time she can spend with the baby and a responsible adult .. then if it slsoesnt work out just let her know you are not comfortable
