To think this mother shouldn't have posted this on facebook?

[malificent7]

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!

Urgh, it's you kid's long infested hair which is spreading the lice. Get it cut and get it treated properly. If your daughter was in my kids class I wouldn't be so subtle.

I have my current hair style thanks to the nit nurse. I was so bloody terrified of her that my mum let me have it cut in a quite short style. I've tried changing it a few times over the years but always come back to it because it fits my face well!

In short - cut your DD's hair!

You don't have to cut her hair.
Wash her hair and sit her down, brush her hair till there are no lugs. "Knots"
Use a Nitty Gritty Comb, it has spirals on the teeth, they don't make it any different to use, but it takes the white nits of the hair strands.
Comb her hair morning and evening and they will be gone in days.
Comb when she comes home each night, to keep them gone,

So this woman put a post on FB which -

• asked all parents to check their kids' heads for lice
• didn't name any specific child or parent
• and was added a year ago

Yet you're still festering over it enough to start a thread on MN?

Riiiiight.

So this was a message from a year ago and you are possed off now? Or have I missed something???

Could someone explain to me what I've missed?

Op I hope you've recovered enough from yesterday to explain WTAF you were waffling about because it made zero sense to my very sober brain!
My experience of nitty gritty combs is they're a waste of £12! I use conditioner & a plastic comb.
When nits & lice are found I use hedrin. I have discovered hedrin protect & go which is sprayed on dgd hair before pleating & that has kept the little fuckers away for over 6 months now 🤗

Coconut oil with rosemary and tea tree oil mixed in leave overnight if long thick hair as the oil actually breaks down the nit eggs as well as the lice.... and comb out methodically with a nitty gritty.
There is a lad in my son's class who ALWAYS had nits..his whole family have them constantly (along with other lovely contagious diseases) I got friendly with the mum at one point and used to say gently oh check x tonight my son's picked up nits and may have given them to him... she would blatantly admit it's her family-15 year old daughter I suspect may have been culprit for Harding and reinventing as long lank hair she never washed or combed etc....
Think he has picked them up at least 3 or 4 times in one year!!! Luckily he is so blonde I can see the black freshly laid eggs as soon as he gets a hitchhiker and as I check his hair in the bath every night it's easily resolved! Best thing about summer holidays no nits!!! and tbh I get pissed off with it but would pm not publicly say something (if I were on Facebook)

Well, I think she has a point. Nits are not a normal part of everyday life, dD has never had them. If you are getting them every few weeks then there is a source which isn't being treated, hence the other mother's annoyance. And her post may be directed at someone other than you. When dD was in nursery the staff weren't allowed to tell parents directly that their child had nits. A general letter would be sent home, saying there are nits in x room, please check your child. After we left, there was a child who was never treated, and continuously re-infected everybody else. And the other parents got mighty fed up about it, everyone knew who it was and felt the nursery should have been far more robust in tackling the parents.

Suggest you put 10 drops of tea tree oil into 20 mls of a carrier oil. Comb through your DD's hair, massage into scalp, wrap the head in cling film and leave for several hours. Then have her lie in the bath with hair underwater. Tea tree breaks down the cell wall on the eggs and the cling film, followed by submerging the hair, suffocates the adults. Comb with nit comb to get rid of dead ones.

Then either use a tea tree shampoo for every wash or add a drop of the oil to your normal shampoo. Worked like a charm for my kids and no nasty chemicals

Nits has been going around my sons class all year. I'd treat him every last day of school before holidays. We'd have the whole holiday nit free then as soon as he was back at school, he'd be scratching his head again. I finally snapped and cut his lovely hair, bought every product going in the chemist, including nit prevention spray, which is basically tea tree oil, and combed every day for a week and it worked. You have to properly get rid of them and then send her to school with her hair tightly plaited so she can't catch them again. Don't get cross about the Fb post as she may be a bit unreasonable but I feel her frustration. I'd just deal with the nits so you know it's not your daughter spreading them around. I bloody hate nits!

Anyone who takes notice of what people say to them on Facebook hasn't go enough to do.

dD was a pain with lice,very fine and as soon as we got rid of them she'd come back with them again. The only thing that worked was a bit comb with batteries that effectively electrocuted the bloody things.

Just an lol addendum, predictive text put autocorrect after bloody

She's right you shouldn't have taken your child back to school with them to spread them to others.

My daughter has afro hair and I'm sure I once said at school if she gets them I will hunt you down!! Never once got them tho as her hair was full of afro hair cream to keep it moist. I think nits could ever find there way in. When I was younger mum put conditioner in after treatment and left it in for a day. Only had them once every and I had a 'beautiful head of hair ' down to my lower back. Keep at it.

Possibly the most bizarre thread ever .. With an award for the most typos (not just in op). Bringing this up a year later while at a festival and using the words 'safeguarding' and 'singling out' about a post aimed at all parents is hilarious and concerning in equal measures.

I apologise reguarly for my typos on all posts as my phone autocorrects as is doing now-I am also dumb enough to not know how to edit the post once posted! I have since read the fb post was a year old so yes i agree it's a bit of an odd one!
