My dd is friends with a child in school who has recurrent headlice. The school mum is an acquaintance through our dds & every time her daughter gets a dose of the lice she texts me rather accusingly to "check my daughters hair". I do this weekly & she is always in the clear. She isn't texting any other mums as I've asked a close friend from the class... I'm actually getting very upset over the constant messages! Aibu? What do I reply.. Tonight I said "dds out at a match, I'll check when she gets in".. She saw the message didnt reply.. I dutifully checked dds hair with the nitty gritty all clear.. I text back "dds hair all clear. Best of luck treating your dd". Read n reply. Aibu to be seriously pissed off & where do we go from here. My dd is not the culprit!

Are her messages definitely accusatory or is she warning you because your daughters are friends and she’s giving you a heads up?

if definitely the former just ignore the messages. She’ll get the hint eventually.

The thing is I've checked with another mum who is a good friend of mine & she's never received a message re the lice.. Tonight's message "X has lice, you really should check dd"..

Send her a video of you going through with the nitty gritty. She clearly doesn't believe you. I'd say 'is there any reason you're specifically feeling like the lice are coming from us?'

Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I can't sleep after tonight's messages. This is about the sixth or seventh time something similar has happened.
