I posted a few days ago about my family members all coming over to smoke pot in our home with my newborn present. Well, there's been a development. The first time they smoked, it was presented to me as if it was just a one-time thing, and I told them my concerns and made it clear I wanted them to smoke outside.
That night, they smoked in the house and lied and told me they'd done it outside. I tried to let it go, thinking that if it was just a one-time thing, maybe it'll be fine.
Well now I've learned that it's a nightly thing and they did it last night -- and this time with my sister present. My sister, with whom I shared my concerns about the pot being around the baby. Not only did they all smoke last night, they smoked right next to the window to my room (which is not open, but is ventilated because there is an AC unit in there that lets all the air from outside in). The baby's crib is right under that window. So they all smoked there and didn't give a damn about the baby, or about the fact that I'd explicitly told them this concerns me and i don't want it to become an everyday thing.
Now my aunt tells me that "of course" it will be an everyday thing, and why would I think it was a one-time thing?
I realize the secondhand smoke is unlikely to do much damage. My problem, at this point, is that no one is respecting me wishes or my concerns, and it makes me wonder what else they are willing to do around the house and then hide from me? If i've explicitly said i don't want that stuff around my baby, and they do it anyway .... to me, that just means they don't care too much about the baby.
I realize I probably sound like i'm overreacting, but this really disturbs me and I have nowhere to go. The only option would be to call the police.
