A lot of parents need to realize that when they decide to have kids, then it's not all about them anymore. Your children's needs should trump your wants or desires. I know what it's like to be tight on money but my kids have never suffered because they come first.

She was a single parent during the Maggie Thatcher years (the sperm donor she was married to walked out). She was determined that we weren't going to inherit her fear of water, so she made sure we had swimming lessons every week. I didn't find out until years later that the only way she could afford to pay for the lessons was by having nothing to eat but a 19p pack of 6 crumpets that day.

Quoth ThirdGenRetail View PostActually, very sad but very true - It's literally cheaper for my mother to KEEP smoking(She's at least cutting back on her own) than to get help quitting. Because of her job, she suffers very high levels of stress, and if she wasn't smoking... She'd probably have put a manager's head through the wall a long time ago due to the aggravation they cause She WANTS to quit, though, because the insurance through work will charge her even more because she smokes... But she needs help quitting, and the insurance won't cover the pill she would have to take, because... They charge you outrageous prices to keep smoking, but they refuse to cover the medication to help you QUIT smoking. She can't do the gum(She wears dentures and therefore can't chew on it), or the patch(I get my psoriasis from her... Though she's not as bad, but the patch can't stay on her). So she has two choices - Cold turkey, or the pill. Former would result in her in jail, more than likely, and the latter... We cannot afford.
Has she tried Zyban? Is that the one you refer to?
If so, here's a way to get her the med; get her GP to prescribe her Wellbutrin. It's the same exact drug under a different brand name (buproprion is the generic name). It's an antidepressant that does wonders for those trying to quit smoking. My parents used it successfuly, with little difficulty.
Chantix has some risks, and no generic so it is very expensive. If your mom has not tried Wellbrutrin/Zyban yet, she should discuss it with her doc.They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

If every cashier in the world went on strike, retail would come to a screeching halt, even if for a couple hours.
