Can we please voluntarily end this thread from grlimilakinskeeper, or whatever her screen name is...it's getting too personal, and not very productive.

LOL. Pick up ANY US history text that teaches the consitution and the government's divisions. Even the 8th graders in my school learn that the LEGISLATURE makes the laws and the JUDICIAL branch interprets the laws that are ALREADY there.

Hmmm...you disagree with cyducksmom for saying the exact same thing you agree with susannah for saying.


I wonder what OP123 would say about that? Oh, yeah...nothing.

Maximizing involvement while I'm here to curtail his smoking is one thing. It's quite another when there is no one to police the situation.

Nope. I disagree with being told I need a law on the books. Hopefully, there will be one in the near future. This is one law that needs to be on the books. Parents should not have the right to expose their children to second hand smoke.

I'm aware of how laws are made. However, change starts much smaller. If you do an internet search, you'll see that this snowball has already started down hill. Hopefully, it will pick up momentum and result in laws to protect our kids from their parents.

And, of course, the Ash site but you need to be a member there. There are plenty others where these came from. I think the day will come when you can't subject your children to second hand smoke.

LOL, But his smoking would have INCREASED!!! That more than makes up for lessening time. Yes, if he smokes around the kids post divorce, I expect their exposure to go up. If I don't get a restriction placed on visitation, a restriction that appears to be fairly common from what I'm reading on the internet, he'll have the courts blessing to blow smoke in their faces all he wants.

So I'm unfit to be around my kids????

My kids don't need protecting from me. I'm the one looking out for them.

Why don't your kids see their dad more????
