I don't know why this thread went in such a crazy direction. NP here and to respond to the initial question, no I would not leave my DC with someone who smokes that much. Also sounds like she's not a good influence in other ways. Just find a responsible babysitter and DH will have to cope with the idea of spending a few bucks on it. I would find other limited ways for your DC to have contact with MIL but I wouldn't leave her alone with her, certainly not this young. |
I didn't even bother responding. My parents are smokers. It sucks. But they are addicted. They will likely die youngish. I still let them watch my kids when we see them once a year. (different country). I know they love my kids and we love them. But I wish they weren't so addicted. |
OP - Your MIL has already proven she is not responsible, the smoking has nothing to do with it. Thanks for wasting our time. |
You're joking, right? That's more than enough exposure to give someone with sensitivities an asthma attack. And you must be aware that people do sometimes die from asthma attacks, right? So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you were joking, and not that you're an idiot. |
Okay, stop. Don't have her watch your child then. Enough already. You really just want to complain when you already have your answer. |

OP is jealous of her MIL. |
NP here. I'm sure that OP is *sooooo* jealous of her child-abandoning, teen mother, smoker of a MIL. You really know how to read people. ![]() |
OP, you are more toxic than a dozen chainsmokers locked in a room. |
You are the child no one wanted to play with on the playground, picked last in gym class, and cried while no one invited you to their parties and sleepovers. Now that you found an anonymous board you feel the need to insult people with being bullied. Congratulations, you can now feel good about yourself. You souond very adult. |
Thank you! At least I know there are some sane people on this board today. |
Paging Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward. Stat! |
This response is fucking hilarious. Do you even realize how you sound? |
CUZIMAWESOME...nice name....clearly you're about 13 and pregnant. I'd love to run into you at a park one day! |
Yay! Let's play! I'm gonna have to avoid the swings though... might put me into pre-term labor and that would fucking suck. |
NP, I'm pretty sure it was intended as a joke. ![]() |
