Or am I being a paranoid mother? We have dd (3) and ds (6 weeks old) at home.
Dsd (13) arrived this afternoon from her Mums, who has recently taken up smoking in the house again.
When she walked in the smell filled the living room. Her clothes and especially her suitcase absolutely stank of cigarette smoke. I'm not talking a little whiffy here but full on eye water. She's a lovely girl and quite sensitive so obviously I pretended not to notice as didn't want to embarrass her. I did quietly mention it to my partner but he just said he didn't want to embarrass her by saying anything. I said ok but id want my clothes washed if they smelled like that.
When we went out with my mum to dinner she took me aside and asked if I'd started smoking again because she could smell it!! (gave up five years ago).
Anyway to fast forward to about half an hour ago I took ds and dd upstairs to bed and the whole upstairs now smelt. I ended up remembering something about 'third hand smoke' I'd read previously so did some googling.
And shit myself after seeing it linked to sids.
Now I don't want Dsd to hold ds again until we've rewashed her clothes. I've had a quiet word with my partner but he says I'm bring hysterical, it's just a smell and seems to think it's a personal slight on Dsd.
Aibu?
