Another parent of kids that my 3 dc spend a lot of time with messaged me on Friday to tell her kids have headlice. I was at work and my kids dad had just picked them up from school to spend the weekend with him. I messaged him straight away to let him know he would need to check them, especially as he could potentially treat them before the kids had slept at his house so would be no need to worry about eggs etc.
I didn’t hear back from him on Friday so I messaged him on Saturday to ask if they had them or not as I would probably need to treat myself before they came back if they did to prevent any possible re infestation ( 🤢)
He eventually sent me text saying he hadn’t checked but he would do it that day.
I still haven’t heard back from him and I just know he is going to bring them back home at bedtime tonight needing to be treated (2 girls with long thick hair so it will take hours). I haven’t found any on myself but I also have long thick hair so it's difficult to check on myself so there might be some hiding there that I haven’t found! I would really need to check the kids to confirm if we need treated or not.
AIBU to expect him to deal with this on his weekend with them? He only had them eow, (his choice) and he will only do fun day out type stuff with them.I imagine he just doesn’t think he should have to deal with this as he isn’t the resident parent. I have sent him a message this morning asking that he either lets me know that he has dealt with it or he brings them home asap so that I can deal with it this afternoon but he is still ignoring my messages!
