How to get husband to stop vaping around baby

[Anonymous]

I’ve talked to my husband multiple times about how I don’t want him to vape his pot around the baby. He’ll stop for a few days, then start right back up again. He doesn’t believe it harms the baby. “It’s just water vapor!” he claims. But when he vapes there’s a strong smell in the room.

I’m really worried for my baby, and for my relationship. To be honest, this isn’t a deal breaking behavior, but it makes me so angry.

Right now he’s moping around, doing that “I’m angry at you” scowl, all because I confronted him again when he was vaping in our living room right next to where our baby was playing.

I’m not being unreasonable here, right????

Deal breaking behavior for me.

Deal breaker. Change the locks.

Drag him to the pediatrician’s.
What made you think he’s “father” material?
How old are you two?

The fact that he's not respecting your wishes around your child is deal breaking behavior for a lot of people. Vaping may be safer than cigarettes, but there just hasn't been enough studies of the long-term health ramifications. Not to mention is that it is not "just water vapor." There is nicotine in the solution and not all of it is ingested when you inhale.

Ask him to take it outside.

Can you put a little neckbeard on the baby?

Maybe if she saw that he’d know the second hand smoke was starting to impact the baby. Also, he’d be concerned that his new little neckbeard progeny would vape up all of his stash.

I’d say “hey, I get you think I’m a paranoid mom- and maybe that’s true- but humor me here would ya?? Come on. It really bothers me. You may not now, but you will have a “thing” (weird preference, request etc) sometime too, and I’ll owe ya one ok?!”

And no I don’t think it is paranoid. At all. But you catch more flies with honey. And this is put in a way that doesn’t blame him or make him feel defensive. Pretty sure it will work. Give it a try.

Ew wtf. Take that in another room

Bring him to the pediatrician who can be another voice to address this stupid and disrespectful behavior.

Or leave. Seriously, this is dealbreaker behavior.

Troll. This can be real.

Travel back in time, do not have a baby with a pot-smoking wastrel.

We’ve been married more than 10 years. It’s medical marijuana that he needs. Not trolling.

F me. F my life.
