mireelmar,
when I read your post I just did a big burn. You were seeing to your child.
The woman had no right to interfear with you. It was none of her business.
You were not exposing your baby to smoke, made sure she was kept cool enough and heck, kids go to sleep in shopping carts all the time.
Yes you should probably stop smoking but I should too. I'm a grandmother and don't like to expose my grandkids to smoke. I keep a can of Fbrezze or some other type of fabric deoderizer with me and spray myself down good with it. Or make sure I have cloths sealed in space bags with me to change clothes. I did this while they were babies up until they were around 5 or 6. I still carry the fabric stuff around with me. I've got to where I'm pretty concisous of the smoke smell and we don't smoke in our house.
You were better than I would have been. I would have told her to put it where the sun don't shine.Connie
