Aaaagh!
Ruddy bil and sil are in flipping denial that their kids have nits. My sil and I have both been doing battle for last 6 weeks, with nits. We check every day, and no nits, then the minute we are with bil and sil family - our kids get nits again.
We had a gathering today - almost decided not to invite them but felt guilty so we did. SIL didnt come as was at work, so bil came on own with kids.
Noticed kids and he were stratching. And I know this is naughty ladies, but checked my nephew's hair when he was out room and found 3 adults nits in his hair with the 1st comb through hair. My other sil and I debated what to do, decided we would check our kids and if found any, tell bil to check his kids.
Few mins later we found nits on my sil baby - we were not impressed.
Bil did a flimsy look through his kids hair, said they didn't have them, and scarped home when I offered to lend him nit comb to double check.
His wife turned up bit later at house looking for him, and we informed her that we found nits on the kids and that she should check hers. She then claims hers didnt have nits and it was probably a friend's child?!!
Anyway we spoke to MIL this eve, asked her to speak to them. She rung later to say that they say they have checked kids hair and that they don't have nits!
Meanwhile my sil gets a neighbout coming round to say she is contacting social services because of the kids screaming (which they did cos don't like hair being washed and de-nitted!).
Both my sil and I are so mad as we know for the fact that our bil and sil kids have nits, and they have been sent home twice in last 2 weeks from nursery because of having nits.
We have decided that we are not letting them visit until we know they have checked and denitted the kids as it's not fair on us or our children to be plagued with nits, if our bil and sil cannot be fecked to deal with it.
Is it wrong to do this? How else can we act, as they are not listening to a blardy word we are saying?!
