Headlice!!!

aurora32 · Sep 7th, 2009, 13:50 PM

Why is it us parents that give a damn and check our kids routinely for headlice are always the ones that pay the flippin price for those dirty uncaring ones that let their kids walk around heaving with bugs, i check my daughters head every week without fail as there are some of those non so clean types, (sorry if i sound a snob but its true) that go to my daughters school and last night whilst drying her hair i was horrified to find headlice and of course it was sunday night so had to wait til this morning to do anything about it, phoned the school she wouldnt be in til id treated her and thet they had better inform parents of the rest of her class. Its the same thing over again you treat your kids which isnt cheap either, free them of the pests only to find a few weeks down the line you have to go through the whole saga again due to these parents that dont give a damn and or are ignorant.Anyone else feel the same?

Anyways sorry for the rant

just needed to get that off my chest.

holly gets them every couple of months

cos some girl in her class has always got them but ud think her mum would do something as she is an hairdresser

the chemist told me that the treatment doesnt kill the eggs so he suggested that as soon as i find any treat the hair with lotion and then put conditoner on every night and comb thro and repeat this for a week

it does work hun

I used to have such a hard time with Emily at first school
I found this an absoute godsend http://www.nittygritty.co.uk/site/home.asp
The comb grabs everything so is not as much as a pain in the arse as normal
The full kit is not cheap but I found it worked out cheaper in the long run than the lotions and potions, you can just use the comb with conditioner as well.

hey ladies,
when i was in school they checked us for lice
and if you had it you were not allowed back until
you were rechecked and were clear. do they not
do that at your schools?

No we haven't had "nit nurses" for years in th UK, something to do with child protection

and not singleing children out
absolute madness if you ask me

Rosie came home with them just before the holidays and she's 14 i make her nit comb with conditioner every night also used lyclear, just have to comb sall the time and break the cycle, as soon as they grow they get trapped in the hair comb before they get chance to lay eggs,
i used to plait rosies hair everyday and the teachers would drill it into the children not to out their heads together.

we used to have the nit nurse come to my school when i was a kid and anyone with nits got a letter home and then checked the following week it stopped them spreading,
but this dont happen anymore, so no-ones monitoring it
