Boyfriends daughter and nits

[Wowowowowow]

My boyfriends daughter who is 6 is covered in nits. My boyfriend is in denial that she has them yet I can clearly see them on top of her head. I've tried showing him and he's like where I can't see them. He won't let me comb her hair. My daughter who is 8 had two massive lice in her hair after we saw them at the park but no eggs. I treated her hair and my hair in case there was anymore. She didn't have them the day before. This is really putting me off the relationship but everything else is so lovely. How can someone not know their kids have so many nits? He doesn't treat them properly as I've seen him treat it before and doesn't thoroughly comb and doesn't section her hair. I've tried showing him but he won't have it. The mother isn't around she lost custody of the kids in case anyone was wondering what the Mum did about the nits. Would you leave someone for not treating nits properly? I kinda class it as slight neglect. I don't know. I haven't seen them since because I don't want my daughter to get them again. This was start of the week. I made an excuse not to see them this weekend. He moaned at me yesterday on the phone because someone else pointed out the nits too to him and he was like she doesn't have any yet I know she does.

Huge red flag for how much responsibility he takes in life & I wouldn't believe he can't see them, that's just a lazy assed neglectful way to get out of sorting it out. His poor DD

This is so incredibly sad. That poor girl. I was her once and I wish I'd met someone like you. Thank you for being so kind

Thank you, I hope you're in a better place and no longer being neglected, I might not be there physically but I'm still available for virtual hugs, if you ever find yourself in need please feel free to msg me 💕

Firstly we must tell him not that his daughter has nits, but HEAD LICE. Parasites. They are not a normal thing to have and the poor girl could get a terrible infection. Lice can carry diseases such as typhus, and she can scratch the skin and get an infection from what she might have beneath her fingernails. You needn't tolerate his ignorant behavior.

In my city a 10 year old recently died from neglect and was found covered in lice. Tucson AZ if anyone wants to Google. In no way shape or form am I saying your dp would do this. I just hate to think of a child being uncomfortable and not treated.

I saw a news feed about this 😥

I wouldn't be impressed at all.

The poor child. There's nothing worse and she will be hated at school, even though it's not her fault.

This will be affecting a lot of people and it's because of lazy careless people like your boyfriend that this is still happening in the 21st Century.

You and your DD WILL get them again, if not from her, him. Because of their egg/life cycle it can take weeks even months to get rid of them (and in the meantime you will be affecting people you meet).

@Wowowowowow I've just seen your update.
You're a true star to do that. Hopefully that little girl will get some help now 😊
