Dear Lady Who Drives the KIA in the Car Lane at School,
I fucking hate you.
These are words that rarely pass my lips. It is a rare day that I ever say that I actually HATE someone. But I hate you.
I usually park behind you in the car lane at 3:05 and wait 20 minutes to pick up my daughter. Every day I sit behind you, and every day, I see you take your 10-ish month-old child out of his car seat and have him sit on your lap in the driver's seat. While you are smoking. For 20 or so minutes, I see you smoke 2-3 cigarettes while your child is on your lap, trying to grab the cigarette out of your hand that is lazily flicking ash (littering on school grounds) out the window. I thought there was a smoking ban in front of buildings?
The first time I saw you do this, I was certain that my eyes were playing tricks on me. There was no possible way that a mother would be blowing cigarette smoke on her child. I thought that maybe I had gone back in time and was back in 1972 when all of the dangers of smoking hadn't come out of the woodwork yet. Perhaps? No. I was here in 2008, watching you puff away and exhale on the back of your kid's head.
Why don't you just club your child and be done with it? Better yet, why don't you leave him on the side of the road like an unwanted pet? What's the difference? You are killing your child. Right Now. KILLING HIM. If you are so free and comfortable to do this in public, one can only imagine what you are doing to your kids in your home.
I realize that smoking is enjoyable to some, an addiction to others. Hell, you have no idea how much I enjoyed smoking. I loved it. Loved, loved LOVED it. But you know what? Even if I still smoked, I would never smoke in front of my kids. Not ever. Do you know why? BECAUSE IT HARMS THEM. I can't imagine playing any part in harming any child, much less my own.
Please know that you are not the first lady I have seen smoke in a car with her kids. Hardly. You are, however, the first asshole I have ever seen blowing smoke in the front seat of a car with a baby on her lap. I am pretty sure you are breaking some sort of law by smoking on school grounds. Don't you worry, I will be looking into that.
I truly hate you,
Misfit Hausfrau

"Well. Excuse me if I like to smoke with my infant on my lap."
Just kidding! That's rather nasty though. Poor little child. They just started a ban in one of the many cities in Canada - smoking in a car with a child. Yup. It's law way up here!
I'm in with you on the hate word. I seldom say it. Rare rare rare.
so sad.
it always cracks me up when you get to cussin' like a sailor though...
it freakin' kills me.
if it were me, i'd say somethin' cause that's how i am.
What kind of parent would smoke with any kid in a car? Must be nothing but trash.
