Quote From: coreyceliaMom-in-law needs to respect angee's decision on not smoking around the children. Everyone agrees that Angee is a terrific mom. Part of what makes her terrific is keeping her children healthy. I am a smoker who does not smoke around my 2 sons. (Never have. Never will!) My home and vehichle are smoke free. I do not take my children to a place or residence that is filled with smoke. If family members who smoke in the house want to see the children, I will meet them somewhere else. This part of that conversation really teed me off. She is the mother. She is the one who decides. She does not have to sit back and allow the children to come home and smell like smoke from the mom-in-laws house. I wouldn't let them go either! She can take it outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My middle son is allergic to tobacco (among other things) and exposure to tobacco was an out and out guarantee of a vicious athsma attack. I cannot begin to describe the kind of hostility our family encountered from people who smoke when we asked for accomodations from our son. It wasn't every time but it was the majority of the time. The mother in law said the she didn't smoke in front of her kid when they are at her house but does she smoke in the house when they're not there? Does she realize she's basically turned her home into a toxic waste dump if she's been smoking in her house? I applaud Angee for insisting that her children aren't exposed to second hand smoke. They are her kids. She has the right to keep them safe from harm.
I cannot fathom the vicious nature of some of the posts regarding Angee. Meow, what a bunch of cats are posting on here. Bear in mind, the things that bother you most about other people are probably things you don't like about yourself.
