sunshine4 I think that this is rediculous!! I have always gotten such negative response from the school system when I try to take my kids out for vacations. Now I just call them in sick. That's what I would do if I were you too.

Blazing15 I think that it should become a law. I hate when people smoke around my children. I don't smoke, neither does my husband. When my children come home from their Grandma's they smell like smoke horribly and I have to wash everything that they had with them. I...
