Just over two weeks ago we get an email from school about worms going round.

That day I went to the chemist the whole family had medication house bleached sheets on a hot wash etc etc

Yesterday we get the worms letter again.

On the parents text group the letter is repeated and a mother of a child in mines class casually says "oh ... Has been complaining of an itchy bum for two weeks didn't think it was worms"

What??? So you just ignored the email the letter the whatsapp group and your child scratching his arse and complaining about it?

So today I do the bleaching and medication today. The arse scratchers mum messages the group to say she'll try to get a Gp appointment tomorrow!!!

So wibu to keep my daughter off school because of disgusting parents who are too lazy to sort out worms??

Are you joking? Have you tried to buy shit from a pharmacist? Usually I have to lie to avoid the list of questions first Hmm

They really aren’t in it for the money.

I bought some stuff as a precaution once, can't remember the name, but it was a lot more than a couple of pounds.

Is the cheap treatment widely available, I didn't need it in the end and I think it'll be out of date now, I'd go for a cheaper option the next time.

I'm not a pharmacist and don't understand how taking something to kill the worms when you don't have them is a waste of time and money surely. Why would you do that?

Yes we have told her

School have also told her two weeks ago as they told me this today.

They also bought in a load of food for the Christmas fayre today. I hope it went straight in the bin.

School gave told her. Her kid has told her. No I'm not hysterical she's filthy.
