On Thursday we were outside and my DD was playing with the neighbours DD, this was all lovely, they were having a great time. Her DD said 'mummy, have my nits all gone now' to which her mum smiled and nodded. They carried on playing, getting quite close at times (heads touching) We came inside and her DD came with us. My DD had been telling her how i'd plaited her hair the other day and neighbours DD asked if i could do it to hers. Which was not a problem, so i sat her down and brushed her hair ready. Well, her head was swarming with headlice! There were eggs all over, loads of them and i didn't have to get that close to see them walking around on there. I carried on doing her hair, didn't want to upset her. I didn't say anything to her mother, i mean, she had said she'd done it! You can see so clearly that she's had them for a long time, you wouldn't get that many from just a day or two. I checked my DD's hair today and yes, she has eggs, didn't find any headlice, but will be checking again tomorrow. AIBU for not wanting her to play with neighbours DD now??

Thats why i'm checking daily again, the little bugger/s must be hiding from me :)
I will say when i see her tomorrow, DD is in bed sleeping at the minute, so will have to wait til tomorrow now. DD has her hair plaited most of the time to help prevent headlice.

That must be really hard with her having thick, curly and corse hair! Bad enough with just thick hair lol.
