Ok. I need some advice.
My mum smokes. She tries to keep it to the kitchen, but there is no door so the smell leaks out through the house, and if I walk in the kitchen without giving the smoke time to dissipate I start coughing.
Initially when we moved in here, it wasn't so much of an issue, but with my lungs being more cramped, my asthma is now starting to kick off over it, and I really don't want to bring my child home to a house that frickin reeks of cigarettes.
Tried to speak to mum about it, turns out her grand plan is to "control" the smoking, which she thinks she's doing by keeping it to the kitchen... we need her to take it outside. Each and every time, even when we're not in the house.
How the hell do I go about this? We're only *just* in a position to start paying "rent" and have been living off her charity since we landed (mid-September), so the only way I can see this going is badly... She's open to conversation about stuff but this is truly a delicate operation here.
Is there anyone I can get in to talk to her about this? Would a midwife be able to talk to her about things? We won't be able to move out for a few months yet until the new job is secured (probation period) and whatnot.
HALP!
