Parents have smoked for 40 years,after a major op (dad) a few years ago they both claimed they had given up. I never believed they had completely given up as the house would often smell of cigarettes,clothing smelling of smoke and you would see ashtray contents in the bin. If I mentioned this they always blamed a neighbour who had called around! They do childcare for me a couple of times a week and sometimes dc clothes have a whiff of cigarette smoke about them. Have always wanted to mention this to them but I know they would just deny it and I didn't want to create an awkward situation regarding the childcare. Fast forward to a week ago Dc were staying over at there house and my dp called around unannounced and spotted my dad about to light up in the kitchen where dc were. Now dp never said anything at the time and I don't think my dad knows he was spotted. I am angry that they appear to be smoking in the house when dc are there,I thought they would at least go outside. So today is the first day since then that they will be looking after Dc. I feel it needs mentioned but I don't want to create an awkward situation.
