I am due on Dec. 25 and it is looking like I will deliver before then. So, here's the issue. Usually for Christmas, we visit my parents who are divorced at their home. My father and step-mother both smoke, inside, but they go outside when people are there. This Christmas is a little different. My step-mother is in the final stages of a battle with cancer and this will be her last Christmas. Since she is so sick, she doesn't go outside to smoke anymore, and it is her house. So, what to do? Take my son, and 2 year old daughter to their house, and expose them to second hand smoke or not go at all. I know they won't smoke while we are there, but before we get there, I am sure they will. And the house will be smoky. My step-mother can't leave the house, so having them here isn't an option.
I am just looking for what other mothers would do in this situation. I know medically, they shouldn't go. BUT she isn't very close to passing away and I want my step-mother to have a nice Christmas!
