Patty--now that is a really good post and really makes the point. Lots of kids

have grown up without grandparents--but none without functioning lungs!

Re: I need to blow some steam off!!!!!!/SMOKING!!!

Deb,

I understand your frustration.You've hit many points i addressed in

my previous post.Just like you I agree whats most important is the

health of your children.You have every right to stand up for their

well being; our kids DEPEND on us to do that for them.Don't worry

about being nice to your father-in-law.If he didn't feel bad about

jeopardizing your childrens' health, why should you feel bad about

correcting him?

I have not intended to upset you, believe me I'm on your side,100%!No

matter what our choices, addictions, or otherwise, I'm all for not

hurting others while doing that.(Here in Florida when it comes to

dining out we dont even have the option to hurt others, theres no

smoking in ANY food establishment, and you'll never hear me argue

because it IS best for all concerned)

So, no more Ms. Nice Guy and lay down the law!!!With any luck he'll

come around.For the kids' sake I hope so!

Best of luck,

Patty, mom to Ty,8wcf and 2little ones wocf
