How Do you tell your parents you dont want them to smoke around your children?

Answer 1

"Mom and dad, please do not smoke around my kids"

Answer 2

I have the same problem. But its not with my parents. My ex husband and his parents smoke in the house and car. Just all around our daughter. it just got to the point when i finally told them you have a choice to make. They either stop smoking in front of her while she is there or not see her as much. If they love your children there should be no problem with it. Maybe they just don't realize that what they are doing is bad or you don't like it. I know that sounds crazy but sometimes people don't think. Let them know how you feel. But whatever you do, don't continue letting them do it. They are your children.

Answer 3

Just tell them that you don't want them to smoke around your kids.They probably won't like it because smokers get nasty when someone says something about their smoking.I come from a family of smokers and I have never smoked and have always had to argue with my family not to smoke around me.But since my son was born with life threatening lung problems.My mom,dad and brothers won't smoke around him.They only butt head is my sister and I just told her I was asking nicely only once after that she was going to eat a lite cigarette if I caught her smoking around my son.You need to make sure they don't smoke around you children you wouldn't believe how much damage can be done to their little lungs.Most people don't realize it but a child can get lung cancer from second had smoke just as any adult can.And it doesn't take being around people for long to have problems.I worked with 3 other woman 5 days a week for just under 3 year putting up with their smoking around me in our company car.Cause boss was a smoker and told me that I would get fired if I complained and ask them not to smoke around me.And now I have breathing problem myself.I have been put on medications to help me breath and I have to use a rescue inhaler on a daily basis.Not to mention the chronic lung infections I have had all from some else smoking problem

Answer 4

A sensitive issue, but nonetheless one that has different solutions.
1. Try to set aside a smoking section for your parents if you have a patio.
2. Simply tell them the truth.
3. Tell them your child/children are sensitive to smoke.

It is up to you. As a smoker I never smoke in a house unless I know it's okay, but that's just me. If your parents love you and they love their grandchildren, then I can't see any reason as to why they would object to such a simple request. You have every right as a parent to choose what is right for your children. I wish you luck.

Answer 5

All you have to do is get rid of all your ash trays. That will give
them a hint. And then simply just tell them how you feel, they
will understand they are Adults and Parents. If you make it clear
in the beginning no one will start smoking around the children.
I am a parent and no one smokes in or around my home cause
I made it clear from the get go that we do not smoke and we don't
mined if you smoke if you just take it out side and away from us.
And thanks to all that comply. See when we know when someone
is smoking all we do is close our door. No One is allowed to
smoke inside. That is called Respect.

Answer 6

If you can't bring yourself to tell them how you feel about smoking around the kids.may I suggest a little trick that I have used in the past on my own parents.And it really worked.Dad even built a closed in gazebo at his house just for smoking when we would bring the kids over for a visit,after the kids had their say to them..It solved our problems.
I have found that out of the mouths of babes,works great.Let the kids tell them in their own words not to smoke around them.It will be much more effective coming from their grandchildren...

Answer 7

You tell them you know that smoking is an addiction but in your home there is no smoking.

You can't tell them what to do in their home....but you can tell them that because of the health issue the children won't be coming over and you're really sorry about that.

Answer 8

short answer: sure. childrens how you could act by ability of emulating the adults around them. that includes all those behavior we could somewhat they did no longer %. up (yelling, harsh language, eating, being propose, smoking, laying on the settee whilst there is stuff wanting executed, ...) "Furface" does improve an exceedingly sturdy element - people do make their own judgements. that's the "nature as against nurture" communicate yet returned. Do mothers and fathers that smoke propose childrens will smoke? No ensures. yet odds are actually bigger.

Answer 9

Just politely tell them that you do not want them to smoke near your children, since second hand smoke is very deadly. If they are loving and concerned grandparents, they will respect your wishes.

Answer 10

Just like you said it to us. The other alternative is to not let your children be around them if they're smoking.

Answer 11

Tell them there is no smoking inside your house. You have no control over what they do anywhere else.
