My in laws have never met my kids because they are smokers

I dont allow smokers around my kids. I am not risking their health. They were born premature and with lung problems. My in laws smoke 2 packs a day. They have never met their grandchildren because of it. DH feels the same way. They havent met other family members either.

His parents will never stop smoking (their words) so we dont allow them around the kids.

It is their loss.

This is a definite CM repeat.

But.. ok.. do what’s best for you.

I'm sure I posted about it there also. My in laws are making a big stink about it lately so it's annoying me again.

I think you're being ridiculous. Don't allow them to smoke around your kids for sure but you can't protect them from everything. I wouldn't allow them in a house that is smoked in either.

My father smokes cigars occasionally. I grew up with him smoking cigarettes off and on. He’d step outside to do it. I’d at Least ask if they’re cool with smoking outside, etc. If not have them at your house and request they use nicotine gum or vape.

They smoke in their home and car so even if they don't smoke around my kids they reek. I used to have asthma attacks every time I was around them and I don't even have as bad of lung problems as my kids.

I wouldn't have anything to say about that.

Skype? Zoom call? It's not live and in person, but still...they can get to know their grandparent's.

I've offered. It's not good enough for them.
