Need some advice on the behaviour of my ex, i see my children 23yrs and 16yrs maybe twice a week and on every occasion their clothes reek of cigarette smoke
i have repeatedly asked their mother to not smoke in front of them as second hand smoke is extremely harmful.Needless to say all i get back is a barage of foul language,and the classic its my house and my kids i will do what i want,neither of my chldren smoke and i really worry for their future health,any advice would be appreciated

Hi There,
.
This is a really difficult one as of course it is her home and she can do what she wants in it, but I fully understand where you are coming from, with your children at the age they are they are old enough to move away from thier mother when she is smoking, I kow that isn't the right answer but I think you will struggle to get any other solution.

I agree with GTTS, but one question, does she smoke in the car (assuming she drives) with the 16 year old in there? That is against the law.

What do your kids think about it, is it something that really bothers them? As has been said, they are old enough to choose where and with whom they live with...might this be something that can be considered?
