Chain Smoking Around Baby 9 Hours A Day
Discussion
In a totally different direction, if they're smoking 80 a day between them, that's got to be getting on for £10k, hasn't it? Even rollies are surely going to be setting them back £5k a year?
How on earth do two unemployed women have that much spare cash? No offence to the OP, but it doesn't sound like they're both married to Merchant Bankers or Media Moguls!

At this point in time, if you are both working I suggest you get a second job and your other half stop working and look after your daughter. Whatever you need to give up to afford this do it, as you seem to be expecting your mum and sister to stop and change but not yourselves.
As others have said, you need to find someone else to look after your daughter, preferably one of you 2 as an extra few pound notes in your pocket after paying someone else to look after your daughter, after choosing to have her, is not worth it.
It is hard but most things that have a massive reward are, you both just need to reassess what is important and the life choices you have made already.

He started the thread to show the inevitable responses to his foolish family to reinforce the points he's already undoubtedly made to them. I'd imagine the responses thus far have given him enough to go on for now. A weird way of going about it really, why you wouldn't just take control of the situation and remove the child is slightly baffling, but each to their own I guess. bmw535i said:

But the answer to OP's question is completeky simple: make other childcare arrangementsand do what it takes (within the law!) to pay for them.

Assume he was hoping he could get free babysitting and have something to prove they were in the wrong.smokebuster said:
My mother and sister babysit our 17 month old baby during the working week typically 9am until 6pm. During the day they spend 90% of the time in a open plan kitchen/sitting area with the baby playing in a playpen on the floor. My mother... sits at a dining room table for 12+ hours a day
Even taking the smoking aside this doesn't sound great from the description. A 17 month old isn't really a baby - do they interact with the child? Take them out at all? Hub said:

Got to agree with every other comment on this. My wife is a nurse in A&E at a children's hospital and she is always mentioning that she has babies and young children in with bronchitis and the parents have no idea what's causing it. In almost every case while the child is being seen the parents will have nipped off for a smoke. She gets pretty annoyed and upset as she can't tell them to stop as that could result in disciplinary action.
Sorry I could not reply last night the site would not allow posts from new accounts due to spammers.
I appreciate everyone's feedback and it has more than shown the reality of what we already knew. It's never been about money but more about her being around family which I can see now was the wrong decision to make.
I actually tried to show them this post last night and they refused to look at it and said I'm trying to bully them.
