Smoking is cool, and you know it

Today, after a very heartfelt conversation with my mother, I promised her that I'd quit smoking. I walked in on her smoking my cigarettes an hour later. Her excuse was that she didn't want my money to have gone to waste. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

The promise didn't include her not smoking. But she should still set the example.

Sounds like something out of a bad sitcom. Now we just need a shitty laugh-track to make everything more absurd. Come on, guys, join with me. (HAHahahahaha HAah ahahha aahaa)

That's a bit of a bitch move, for sure, but while she's being a total jerk about it, at least you know she cares about your health, if not her own. Personally, I'd make her pay back the money. Generally, that's a common punishment for thieves. :P

Tell your mom to butt out, and that the promise is now up in smokes. She didn't get very tar with her setting an example. I would have been puffed off too.

Dont do it for her, do it for your own good. Goodluck!

She does have a point. It's a terrible excuse but makes sense.

I did the same thing with my mothers sweets when she decided to go on a diet. It was not appreciated.

she did not want to the rest of cigarettes tempting you

That's a terrible excuse of her, but at least you're willing to give up on smoking. Good luck to you, OP :)

Maybe she didn't inhale and just wanted to see if she could do those smoke ring tricks. I don't smoke and did that a few times for fun. (:

Oppertunist I would say. If life gives you lemons... I mean if life gives you smokes, smoke'em

That's how parents are they get you to quit but they won't quit them self.
