To expect them to be vigilant too

Posting here for traffic.
the kids have threadworms- Again! It seems to be a reoccurring theme over the last 6 months. I have been hyper vigilant with the kids with hand washing, changing pjs, pants, bedding etc and what I think is happening is that dd is getting them from nursery as she is the one that always seems to have them and occasionally others.
I am bleaching everything down and cleaning handles of doors and toilets regularly.
aside from cleaning multiple times per day in a hazmat suit or burning the house down I couldn’t actually do anymore, it’s soul destroying.
DH however doesn’t give a shit and is not following the cleaning advice etc when I’m not around to do it. He keeps doing things like shaking bedding around and not putting kids pants and pjs onto the machine in the mornings. It all sounds crazy but this is the guidelines recommended by NHS and NICE.
the nursery are being equally as shit and don’t care. I have been informing them about us keep getting them, their response was to say ‘oh well, it’s like bits isn’t it, nothing you can do’. While I agree that is partially true they haven’t put up a notice for other parents, haven’t sent a letter out or email and when I challenged this they said they are not obligated to take any measures.
after a bit of digging I can see that it is recommended that they inform other parents on some way and up the cleaning for a bit to discourage it spreading.
AIbu to expect just a bit of support and solidarity from the nursery and my husband.

DS kept catching them from school so I just started working him and the rest of us at the slightest hint that he had them.

I was slightly hysterical the first time he had them and boil washed everything but by the third time the novelty had worn off.

Rubbish response from nursery though!

I know it sounds mental and believe me I feel mental doing all this cleaning and moaning at everyone to wash their hands. I think I’m just exhausted from it all and needed to vent a bit x
