Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I am so pissed!!!!! We just spent Christmas with my Father in law and every year I have to worry about someone smoking around my girls. Well, the last few years I thought I had made myself clear to my father in law and step mother in law that our girls cannot have smoke around them. But my stubborn Father in law I think feels like this is my house and I will do what I want! So we get there and as soon as we walk in the door my middle child that does not have CF says to me MOM they are smoking in there!! I looked at my husband and said did you hear Lynzie they are smoking!! He says to me I know and shrugs his shoulder and I know everyone heard what we were talking about so they quickly smoked the rest of their cigarettes. I told the girls to stay in the kitchen the farthest away from the room they were in. So OK everyone starts to eat (So know one was smoking at that time which was so very nice of them NOT!!!) and thank god it was nice out because as soon as we get done eating I talked the girls into going outside and ride the 4 wheelers which I didn't have to ask them twice. Well, after about an hour of being outside my youngest who is 6 decides she wants to come inside and have some dessert. I tell her again and everyone heard me please stay in the kitchen so you can stay away from the smoke. Well, I am sure you know how well that went before long she was begging me to go into another room were everyone else was. I finally agreed because know one is smoking in that room. Well, while we were in there my father in law wonders in that room WITH A CIGARETTE!! I THINK SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF MY EAR!!!! I sat there for about 5 minutes and I said Natalynn lets go outside and I quickly grabbed her and went to the breeze way and my husband comes in from outside and I look at him and I said lets go home. He knew I was pissed and he said OK. I got the girls coats on and told them to wait out in the car while I get everything. I got out of there so fast I hope they realize I was pissed!! When we got home I was in tears!! My husband drove our four wheeler home so I was in the car with my two girls that have CF and I was trying to explain to them why we had to leave so early and while I was doing that I burst in to tears!! I am so mad at myself for getting so upset in front of them but I couldn't keep it in any longer. I feel so bad because they got upset and were worried about me. I just can't understand how a Grandfather can think so little of his grandkids!! I am so upset that I am in tears just writing this!!! I talk some more to my husband and he totally agrees that his Dad will do what he wants to do because it is his house. I said I am going to have to talk to him and see if I can get through to him because obviously my husband can't. So I told him if this don't work well we will be spend the next Christmas at home! I hate to do this to our kids but it is not worth risking them getting sick and damaging them lungs! I just can't think of people that only think of themselves!!!!!!! It is so unfair for my girls!!!! I guess if they want to see our girls they will have to come under our turf!! And live by my rules!!! And the funny thing is he will say to my girls how come you don't come to visit me that much anymore DUH!!!! HOW CAN I GET THOUGH TO SOMEONE THIS STUBBORN!!!!!!! DO I HAVE TO DRILL IT IN YOUR HEAD DUH!!!!!! I even asked my husband does he even realize what CF is and he said I don't know but he has seen my oldest have PICC lines in and he know she has had to have surgery but he just doesn't CARE!!! I can't see it any other way why would someone be so heartless????? I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT!!!!! I am feel so much better just to get this out!! I'm sorry for making this so long but I really need to vent. I hope every one else's Christmas was better then mine. Our Christmas at home was the best ever it just went sour when we had to go to my in (like someone else on here calls it) MY OUTLAWS!!!!!!!! Thanks again for listening!!
