BM was in town for a 2 day visit with the kids... 8yr old SS just said.. "I lit Mommy's cigarette for her". WTF was she thinking??? This woman wants the kids to live with her.. how amazing. Ok.. I am done.. I am so amazed. I came here to vent instead of spewing negative things in front of the kids... Sigh > BM was in town for a 2 day visit with the kids... 8yr old SS just > said..

He said: " That is not something to brag about or be proud of" 10yr old SD chimed in.. "That is so wrong. All that is going to do is make him get used to having a cigarette in his hand". Thanks for your and Rebecca's response! > > BM was in town for a 2 day visit with the kids... 8yr old SS just > > said.. "I lit Mommy's cigarette for her". WTF was she thinking???

Last weekend, we were talking about smoking for some reason (can't remember why) and I said to SS(8) "you know you aren't allowed to smoke, right?" he says "I know, until I'm 18" I say "You are never allowed to smoke." We talk again about why, addiction and lung cancer and whatnot. He trots out "my mom used to smoke" I say "but she doesn't anymore and you can't either" He says "I only want to try one." We must have had that conversation a dozen times now. It's like a little play that we put on, every time the topic comes up. It's a losing battle. I tried a cigarette when I was a kid, every kid I know tried one. I don't know exactly why some kids took up the habit and others didn't. I guess I just think I'm supposed to keep up my lines, because maybe, just maybe as he takes that first puff, he'll think of me and put it out. Maybe. rebecca |
