I wouldn't know what cannabis smells like. Is it a strong smell, like the leftovers of tobacco smoke?

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to "have strong words" with your daughter's mum in law. It might lead to an argument and that won't be good for anybody.

This is something I would be unhappy about. It just doesn't seem appropriate when small children are involved. Is there any where neutral they could meet? One of those indoor play areas perhaps, it might seem less confrontational than a refusal to visit.

Am I being unreasonable to expect my daughters mother in law not to allow her son to smoke cannabis before my grand daughter goes over to visit? My daughter is upset as every time she goes to her mother in laws house it smells of cannabis . She has asked her husband to talk to his mother and tell her not to let this occur when the grand daughter is to visit. My daughter has another baby now and does not want to stop her mother in law seeing her grandchildren but her requests to stop the smoking are being ignored and this is becoming an issue. I have suggested she invites her mother in law to her house rather than the children going to her but she will probably take offence at this. I don't want to be judgemental but I am ready to go over and have strong words with her mother in law about her sons lack of thought for his niece. And dont want her growing up knowing what cannabis smells like !
