Wish I could say I have a strong bond with my mom, but I don’t. Not even close. I didn’t even tell her when we went into labor until the morning after he was born. I talk to her a lot just not close.

When we got pregnant I had a conversation with her and I told her that in no way shape or form was she to smoke around my child! I had NO choice growing up but to live in a smoke filled environment. She smokes in the house, in the tent when we camped, in the car, anywhere near us, it was horrible. We didn’t have a say in as we were kids. The moment I could I moved out and she was upset.

However the last couple of weeks she’s been super helpful with my sons child care and helping me out. She doesn’t smoke in the car or in the house when he’s over. (Still doesn’t help the problem though- the smoke is in the house and on every item of clothing she has) this passed week though, she’s gotten bold and smoked near him and even near our open door car! I don’t know how much more I can tell her to stop! But it’s gotten to the point that my boyfriend is going to snap. He doesn’t like it and it’s going to hurt our sons health like it did for us as kids.

My son cries when he’s around her (he’s 6 months old), and I just don’t know what to do!!! She doesn’t care about our feelings, she could care less what we want for his health.

Any ideas on what we should do?
