My bf smokes multiple times a day- ALWAYS outside and never around baby and when he comes back inside he will always take off those clothes and then shower and brush teeth. Smoke lingers and is not safe for babe
@Adrienne this is perfect I think I will do that! I feel like when I say it he acts like Iām overreacting and keeps saying oh itās not that much sheās fine and makes me feel like Iām being overbearing š heāll probably listen to her doc
I do not think itās appropriate to smoke around my kids. I can go outside
Agree with everyone else. Sorry you are having to even consider these things/have these conversationsāitās ludicrous to have to explain/convince another adult to put a babyās needs above their own needs/pleasure. I have so much empathy for you! At any rate, I find that it helps to ask these questions to the pediatrician while my childās father is present. The concern is taken more seriously, and I donāt have to be āthe bad guyā (which typically elicits defensiveness and a fight from my SO). So, if itās safe for you to do so (and you wonāt āget in troubleā for putting him on blast at the doctors office), this strategy may create some change, if your requesting it isnāt budging behavior. Lots of hugs!!
No I wouldnāt allow it
