dp's dad is coming to stay for a weekend to meet his new grandson... and he smokes like a train (pipe and cigars). our normal rule is no smoking in the house - dp (a v. light smoker) smokes in the garden and so do guests.
BUT grandpa is 70 and frail (has cancer) and one of his few joys is to sit in a cosy armchair for hours smoking himself to a kipper. he has also been very financially generous to us (helped us buy a house) and to DS, and i also love him dearly. i would feel like a right meanie chucking him outside, esp if freezing cold and raining/blowing a gale as it has been recently.
on the other hand i'm paranoid about SIDS and really don't want 4-month-old DS around smoke.
any ideas?
