My dd like most kids gets nits. Her best mate from school also gets them.
I am continuosly treating dds hair... lotion, nitty grotty. Weekly/ fortnightly.
So is she.

My dd has long, thick haor and hates anyone touching it. Hers has short fine hair.

As far as im concerned all the kids give each other nits and we parents do our best to tame them.

I dont blame any particular child/ parent.

A whike back this mum posted on fb

" please can all parents from dds achool treat their childs nits. Im fed zo of you all giving my chikd nots. "

I knew she meant my chikd as dd still had nits after a few treatments.

How do i know her chikd wasnt giving my dd nits.
I wrote her a message and she told ne to gwt a nitty gritty. I had one!

Aibu to think this was very passive aggressive? Why didnt she speak to me directly? Also... why blame one chikd AND pist on facebook?

People were writinf bame and shame on her wall! Ive since concluded she's a prize dick! And dd has been nut free since moving from a different class to that friend!

How is she singling kids out if the post she put on Facebook was just addressed to parents in general?!

I also dont quite uderstand how you can say you are treating effectively in one post, then next minute you announce she's not free for 6 months?!

My grandmother had a saying for people like you that get all het up over general statements where no one specifies their target: "if the cap fits then damn well wear it!"

Safeguarding? Fucking hell talk about an overreaction Confused she didn't identify anyone, she didn't even identify it as being about one person. I get pissed off by lazy parents who don't treat lice effectively, it's basic parenting.

This place is doing my head in lately

Come on, is this for real??

Viviennemary · 11/08/2017 19:13

If your DD's long thick hair is constantly infested with nits, sounds as if shorter hair would be in order. She didn't mention names on FB but if you think she meant you then take action.

malificent7 · 11/08/2017 19:15

It was posted over a year ago so wss in class.

Re safeguarding... i wouldnt want children being bullied for having nits. Kids read fb like it or not.

I was being ironic/ tongue in cheek when i said "magnificent hair... apart from the nits! "

Re safeguarding... i wouldnt want children being bullied for having nits

If it was a year ago why are you posting now?

Kids won't get bullied for having nits because someone read it on Facebook, they'll get bullied for having nits because their parents don't treat them effectively so they'll be obvious.

I assumed this must of been recent? Yet you've stated nit free for six months and the FB thing was last year?

What exactly do you want to achieve from posting? other than this magnificent hair stuff & nonsense

Emmageddon · 11/08/2017 19:22

I want to know why you're posting a festival. Go and have a drink and a dance for goodness sake.

And this nit comment was a year ago?

PurpleMinionMummy · 11/08/2017 19:24

If you're so hot on safeguarding your kid won't have fb to read it Hmm.

You sound paranoid

PandorasXbox · 11/08/2017 19:24

Huh Confused she didn't name anyone.
You need to calm down a bit you sound a bit frantic.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 11/08/2017 19:25

waaaay over the top using 'safeguarding'!!!

Viviennemary · 11/08/2017 19:29

Magnificent hair apart from the nits. Um yes Ok. Confused Magnificent for the nits. They're having a field day. Get a grip OP.

NicolasFlamel · 11/08/2017 19:30

A year ago?! Jesus wept. How do you even remember that post after a year? Have you got s bit maudlin on the wine?

PandorasXbox · 11/08/2017 19:32

It was posted a year ago?! GrinHmm

Why the sudden need to post about it OP?

OrphanAccount · 11/08/2017 19:33

A year ago? And you're still in a flap about it? Seriously OP, let it go. Dwelling on minor incidents to this extent is not good for your mental health.

Flyawayhammer · 11/08/2017 19:33

You're still thinking about this a year later? ConfusedConfused

MsLexicon · 11/08/2017 19:37

Love the typos. Not so sure about the paranoia. So this Mum is jealous of your child's magnificent mane of wild untramelled louse-infected hair?

But of course.

viques · 11/08/2017 19:37

I think any school in the UK which excluded for nits would find themselves in deep shit .

MatildaTheCat · 11/08/2017 19:38

Is that you, Sharon? Weird enough thread. Confused

SleepingStandingUp · 11/08/2017 19:41

OP it was a while ago.

In the words of Else Let It Go.

If you're at Bloodstock go get a drink and have a dance to Amon Amarth and chill

MrsPicklesonSmythe · 11/08/2017 19:42

So many questions Hmm

viques · 11/08/2017 19:42

Sorry, Meant to say OP if you are still finding nits then you are not de nitting properly. The first combing should be aimed at removing all adults and hatched nits. You recomb several,times after that to get rid of any recently hatched babies from missed eggs, but they are tiny and you probably wouldn't see them, so if you can see them they are adults you missed first time.
