I have told my parents over and over that I was done allowing them to smoke with my children in the house. They keep saying that they won’t do it anymore and then they forget.
So today we went over for Christmas dinner. And my mom and dad are both smoking. So we dropped off their gifts and left. We didn’t even get the kids out of their car seats.
I called my dad from the road and told him that I wasn’t going to expose my kids to second hand smoke even for one minute.
I’m done. I grew up having to put up with that but I’m not doing that to my kids.
I told him and my mom that from now on they could smoke to their heart’s content in their house and car but our kids would not be going there.
My mom is very upset with me but I’m just done.
My dad says that I cannot dictate how he behaves in his home. And I agree. I am not saying he can’t smoke there. Only that his grandchildren won’t be there if he does. Am I Overreacting?
