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.

The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.

Condolences to your family.

Even if they aren't actively smoking they still smell like it... Heavily.
there are ways around that bathing and changing clothes before they come see the kids
They would have to bathe in a place that's never been smoked in and then change into brand new clothes. Everything from their house would still have nicotine residue on it.

Good for you. Not everyone has to allow smokers around their kids.

If your dad was so bad off then why didn't you help him? If his clothing was visibly dirty why didn't you wash them? Smh.

They smoke in their home and their car.
There are ways you're just full of excuses.

Because when people are that messed up mentally, it agitates them more to inflict your version of "help" on them.

It's not an excuse it's reality. I used to have an asthma attack every time I was around them .my kids have much more serious lung issues than I do. It's not worth the risk.
