I am sick of combing nits out my DD's hair, and I know where they are coming from, this mum claims that she treats her kids regularly but you can see the lice from 2 feet away and the kids are absolutely crawling. Every time my kid play with hers she comes back infested and I am sick of it.

Obvious your problem has been (at least) temporarily solved, but I wanted to post anyway.

I once had a major nit infestation. My friends mum noticed and recoiled in horror and came in to see my mum when she dropped me off at home. My mum couldn't see a single one. My friends mum was pointing them out, catching them, showing my mum what the eggs look like - my mum couldn't see a thing.

I used nit shampoo as we did our best with a comb, but I would never know whether I had them unless I asked my friends mum. My mum would look and say there weren't any, but she just couldn't see them :(

I'm not saying this is the case in the instance, or in every other instance, but a nit infested child isn't always negligence by the mother. My mum genuinely couldn't see the buggers.

Feel so sorry for the kids. Could their teacher have a chat with her?

The poor things...I hope they've got someone lovely looking after them Sad.

God yes.

One of my major worries is getting knits when my DD goes to school 3.3 years away yet. I have hair extensions and would be near impossible to get them out.
