School have sent out an email to say we should be checking the children’s hair thoroughly with a nit-comb twice a week. AIBU to think they’ve lost their minds?

You check your children’s heads with a nit comb, properly, every day?!

Yes, I brush their hair at bed time and then go through it with the nitty gritty comb afterwards.

I do a check once a week in the bath - put on condition and then comb through. Doesn’t take long at all, and I follow the conditioner with shampoo so that it comes out easily.

We used to check daily when brushing hair , wouldn't go through with nit comb everytime. When we washed the hair we would leave the conditioner on and go through with the nit comb . The quicker they are spotted and removed the better

I do it daily, takes a few minutes and saves a hell of a lot of bother.

Totally bonkers. It should be daily.
