Kids have been bloody riddled again and yet again mum claims they were clear when she last had them (xmas day) I noticed boxing day that dsd was scratching like mad so checked her and she was riddled - took over 200 lice and god alone knows how many eggs. lice were young and full adults so there is no way she was clear 24 hours earlier.
Dp is adamant she isn't checking or if she is actually has no idea what she is doing. we can't keep using chemicals sue to dsd's eczema.
without sounding like a complete bitch how do we get her to realise the severity? she often refuses to deal with them even if she does see lice as she says her hairdresser tells her not to bother. how done approach it without looking twats to try and educate her over what she is looking for and how to manage it?
my hv says I need to report to SS as it's low level neglect along with other repeatedly ignored health issues, but that strikes me as a massive overreaction
help!!
