Last night I was downstairs in the living room and suddenly got the smell of cigarettes. I went upstairs to my 11 year old DD'd room and the room was full of smoke. I asked her where the cigarette was and she had the cheek to deny that she'd had one. I finally found out that she's thrown it out of her window as she'd heard me coming up and I found it burning on the grass below. She had stolen it from my DH's coat pocket which was in the back of the car with her when we had been out for a ride. I am absolutely furious with the pair of them, my DH was supposed to have stopped smoking over a year ago but I have suspected he has been sneaking them, but to leave his coat with cigrettes in the pocket where she could get them in my opinion is unforgivable. I am feeling really resentful of DH at the moment and I cannot even bear to look at him apart from giving him dirty looks, but the problem is I really don't know how to deal with DD. She swears she's never done it before but I don't know what to believe. Its breaking my heart that she might be going down the smokers path. Please, I need some advice from anyone else who has caught their kids doing this.
