Smokers
My mother has recently taken smoking back up (her excuse being "well I had to put the dog down so I'm stressed" 🙄)
How would I put it to her that until she quits smoking again we/she doesn't visit when the baby comes?
She doesn't wash her hands after, she also sparks up and smokes in her kitchen so I know as soon as we turn up we'll come out stinking..
I really want to ask her when she's planning on meeting the baby purely because I dont want smokers around or holding the baby.. this is my rainbow baby after a 36w loss so don't want to have to plan another child's funeral because people have been so damn selfish..
She's one of these people that will spit their dummy out if they don't get their own way and she's been an absolute bloody nightmare for the past 3 years and I've had enough

Just tell her if she wants to see the baby she’s not to smoke before and to make sure she hasn’t smoked in the clothes she is wearing. Also hands are to be washed or you will not be touching the baby! You have to tell her straight if she doesn’t want to do it then she doesn’t care enough about seeing the baby x
My mum is the same and used the same excuse! It's not good enough. I told her that if she wants to see our baby grow up then she needs to stop. At the end of the day you can't tell an addict to stop something that is a vice to them. They won't quit until they themselves are ready. It sucks really bad but it's the truth unfortunately. Sorry you're going through the same xx
