So, my family are in the wonderful position of being able to spend loads of time with my gorgeous nephew. I'm an occasional smoker, as in have the odd cigarette with a glass of wine. When going to visit my baby nephew, I make sure I'm showered, with freshly washed clothes, without a trace of smoke on them.
So my sister and Mum stayed over the other night, with other sister and BIL and nephew. Said sister is a fairly heavy, 20 a day smoker. When minding nephew, she brought him in to bed with her. When Mum told me this, I pointed out that co-sleeping is not advisable with smokers, and that it increases the risk of SIDS. Mum got very defensive, as she always does with younger sister. It went from 'she brought him in to bed to snooze with her' to 'oh, well he wasn't really in the bed, he was just on the bed next to her'. So same thing, really.
I don't want to be stirring up animosity by telling my older sister that younger sister is doing this. But at the same time, it is risky, and I really don't think my younger sister should be doing it. Feck. What do I do?

To be really annoyed with my Mum and sister re co-sleeping and smoking?
