To expect not to have to treat my DH for nits?

[TheDevilWearsPenneys]

The Dc have had them recurrently for the last ouple opf months and it freaks me out.

We have been using the nitty gritty comb every few days just in case and I wondered why they came back.

DH just called and said 'I just pulled a fat nit from my hair' as if it was funny. I asked him if he'd used the comb in the shower as I'd instructed and he said he hadn't and didn't see the point when he washes it every day.

Great look for him in a business environment eh?

He apparently can't be bothered to comb it tonight, so do I hold him down and do it as I would a struggling toddler?

Oh I am so cross.

what a pathetic arse

and you may tell him I said so too

He'll see this thread, don't worry about that.

What an arse!

Tell him if he doesnt treat himself for nits then to go to someone elses house for the night because if he doesn't then your dc's will egt them AGAIN or you could inform him that you are washing your hands of nit combing altogether and it is now his respionsibility to do his and your dc's.

Does he realise what nits are how they can infect your scalp etc? tell him to google and see if he still wants them living in his hair!!

Shave his head when he's asleep.

Oh you poor thing DPWP .. I had insist that everyone got done when my DS2 had the most whopping louse ewwwwwwww and DH almost whinged and struggled more that DD (4) LOL

MR TDWP this could be you!

I am always really saddened at these stories of totally inept men who won't do a thing for themselves and angry for the poor woman who practically has to wipe his arse for him.

Who raises these men? Do their mothers and fathers teach them nothing?

DUH I meant TDWP oopps sorry

and yuk!

I read the title as "treating your DS for nits" and was poised to post a "What do you expect? They're kids etc" response but now the penny has dropped YANBU in the slightest bit - pathetic arse is right.

As for not seeing the point when he washes it everyday..........head lice love clean hair! and you can't get them out with shampoo

I told him the same.

I do my shoulder length hair with the nitty gritty every few days since so why can't he do his inch long hair?

Ass!

Because he is a man and therefore pathetic!

YANBU!

Have you showed him this yet?

I have nightmares about nits I HATE them they're a nightmare to get out and they keep coming back and it's just hell, yet your dh thinks they are pets

Whats the big deal MR TDWP? It's not a lot of hassle to do one head with inch long hair yet doing the whole family for hours on end every other day is a real pita!

maybe you could make it part of your foreplay, i mean, you see the orangutans doing this, it is a sign of great affection - i am sure he wont mind if you dont eat them though.

The first time we got them I freaked out so much.
There's a hysterical post from me on here.

I hate spiders, let alone tiny creepy things that crawl around you head.

My DC aren't even school age!

Me n my sister had them, her more than me. DD seems to have the same magnet-like attraction.

My step sisters had them constantly apparently.

Your DH is indeed being an arse - DH has long hair and he manages to do it regularly.

Google them and show him the pictures then ask if he still thinks it's funny. Also ask if he wants to risk reinfecting his children and put them through discomfort and misery just because he's too lazy to take 2 mins to comb his short hair. Does he ask you to cut his meat up as well?

swap his shampoo for hair removal cream

if he hasn't got any hair, there will be nowhere for the nits to live!

tell him they might move south and go and infest his privates

"Completely side issue here - but when I was a child I didn't know a single child with nits (that I knew about). I never had them and neither did anyone in my family. There was never an outbreak at any school I ever went to. This was in Scotland in the 80s. Why is it that nits appear to be endemic in every school now? "

Same thing happened in Sweden. Common in the 30's and 40's, virtually unknown when I was a child in the 60's and 70's, then made massive comeback in the 80's and 90's. I always understood that it was because the original population was nearly knocked out by the first pharmaceutical treatments, but then resistant nits developed.
