Sil is expecting a baby. At the weekend we saw her at DMs house and she popped out into the garden with DM to smoke.
Now, don't get me wrong. Sil is lovely and I get on well with her. As far as I'm concerned it is her choice that she still smokes when pregnant. She is intelligent enough to make her own choices knowing the risks. Personally I would not smoke during pregnancy but that's my choice.
DM however was positively ecstatic that sil was smoking. Told me that when I was pg I was over the top about not breathing in smoke and how it is fine. DM smoked through all her pregnancies and said it did her and us no harm.
She has told me categorically I am not to tell dsis that sil is still smoking as dsis is likely to say it is not healthy for e baby etc and DM doesn't want sil upset.
I find the whole thing ridiculous. DM is constantly talking about how sensible sil is not just giving up suddenly as apparently that would shock her body and cause the baby more harm!
AIBU to think DM attitude is ridiculous?
