to think not all of them have to smoke at the same time?

[Cleio]

Getting really fed up that once again I'm left on my own inside while DH and our guests are all outside to smoke. I don't smoke, so al day I'm the default to mind the DC while they all disappear. It's cigars too, so it takes a minimum of half an hour each time. This round will be longer as the big ones have been broken out. DD2 is teething so she's still up.

AIBU t think that not everyone needs to go smoke at the same time and someone could stay in and keep me company?

Ah that's a bit mean :( as an ex-smoker yes a big part is the social side but it's not on to leave you on your own. They should go in halves or smaller groups.

Could you have a quiet word in DH's ear to that effect? Perhaps he hasn't realised.

DH knows but is unwilling to do anything.

I actually don't mind smoking as such, especially cigars, and if DD would just go to bed they could smoke inside.

Can hear them laughing now. Bah.

Ah that's really unfair and wanky. Sympathies OP. Make sure you get your other half to do bedtime or something so you get some grown up social time while he's having to do DC duty on his own for a bit.

YANBU when I smoked, I used to think about who was being left behind if I went out with company.

I did do all the cooking but that was fully by choic, and didn't lift a finger cleaning up!

To be fair, DH husband was on teething baby duty through the night. He's a a great partner and father. His greatest flaw really is this sort of thing. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal but it is really annoying.

Eh? That is so rude! But whatever happens please don't allow smoking inside - it goes straight up!

I'm just home from a house where even though I'm 7 months pregnant, everyone sat and smoked relentlessly. I just had to shower the smell off, it sticks to you.

I'm an ex smoker now and I know how hard it is hit don't let them in the house!

I smoked 20-40 a day for 22 years. I gave up almost 2 years ago.

All smokers stink. All smokers are hideously selfish...

Most smokers will disagree!
