Was the smell not an issue at the interview?
I had a sinus infection when he first came to visit and the first few days he was here! LOL Talk about bad timing right ??
The thing is I really like the little guy. He gets along great with the others and comes from a single parent family....he doesn't have a great home life etc.
Aside from the smell I love having him here
Also , I found out he might be leaving in a few weeks.
BUT I will not make this mistake again.

We should add that to the list of questions when we interview
"Does anyone in the home smoke"

Starting to feel at home...
I am so happy to be reading this, as I never thought to check for that. I do have a smoke free daycare, but never considered the parents smoking in their home as a possible nuisance. I am too slightly allergic to smoke. I have one dad who smokes (not in the home or car) but when he comes to pick up his daughter, his smell lingers in the home...yuck! To sunflower, good luck sorting this one out, it's tricky but you have to think of yourself and the other kids primarily.

Absolutely. you need to take this up with the parents. Kindly say .....I'm sorry.....can't look after anymore due to the smoke smell....Be honest. You owe it to the child....

Second hand smoke is as dangerous as smoking itself. Especially for kids

I agree that second-hand smoking is a bad practice for non-smokers. I, for one, smoke every so often, and not just cigarettes but weed, and when I do it, I prefer to act responsibly. I leave an area with non-smokers and only then start the process. By the way, I buy weed in getgreen weed store. If you are interested in it too, then I recommend you check their offers.
