OMG, dd2 head is aline with headlice.

[misdee]

i feel so ashamed. she has loads of the little critters running about her head. i have got some lyclear to do her hair tomorrow afternoon after pre-school. i know i should do it before pre-school, but she'll just get re-infected, and after tomorrow she has 2 weeks till her next session. i'll phone the pre-school tomorrow afternoon to let them know i have 'found' them.

i only checked her hair about 2 weeks ago and she was clear. even dd3, who is 7months has to be treated, as well as dd1 and me. feel all yukky thinking about it.

lyclear is just a 10min treatment, might do that 1st thing. then get dd3 and me done in the afternoon, dd1 afterschool. (havent found any on dd1, but she has been itching a bit, its hard knwoing if its eczema with her or headlice)

It will keep until tomorrow evening, when she has the energy.

No, I do realise, but misdee was asking for options and came up with the same one herself....we cross posted. And as I posted I realise this is the last thing she needs atm

lyclear, lyclear is not needed, it is rubbish and a waste of money, it's the combing that is effective.

Have a quick look over her ears and at the nape of the neck....that is where dd gets hers

oops, first word was meant to be 'agree'

OK

These Halloween/posh name changes can be very confusing.

Apologies.

LadySherlockofLGJ ???? thought martians advice was good???

its only beaus ei found one on my hair that i rechecked the kids hair. if i hadnt then dd2 would be off to pre school as usual tomorrow with ahead full of lice, eurgh. i feel sick thinking about it and wondering i have really been looking after my girls as well as i should.

Yes I thought so too. Her MB's was really good!

Oh Blimey, Misdee, this is all you need on your plate, isn't it? Bad luck! Don't fret - have another quick go with the comb if you can before you leave for pre-school in the morning to catch any you missed tonight, and don't fret!

The world isn't going to stop spinning over a few nits, misdee. Your idea of combing tomorrow is all that is needed. But if it can't be done it cant.

Misdee - of course you have been looking after your girls

Nits are the bane of all of our lives from time to time and it's not until they are big that you can tell.

I just would love to know what the purpose of nits is otehr than to drive us mums insane!

Ok

But I was just being defensive for Misdee, as I felt it would keep until tomorrow evening.

Again apologies.

i cant belive i am so upset over some s*dding headlice. at least she hasnt got worms.

Are you sure? have you checked?

now... do your self a favour and don't go checking

oh i have seen her poos' in the potty lately. no sign of life on them.

agree mb. I had this with dd last year no less than five times and no longer buy any lotions. The combing and regular inspection, (I check dd weekly now by just combing through with the nit comb after a hair wash) after you've got rid is the way forward. I do realise though that you have a huge pile on your plate misdee, but I think you'll feel better too knowing she can't pass it on at pre-school if you remove the big ones.

Oh shit, we have all had them in our house, they were bloody repulsive! far worse than nits. A turd that waves at you

I'm HMB BTW

I just can't come to grips with your name martian!

misdee - yes, you are looking after your babies, and very well too. Don't beat yourself up about it!

HMB???

Misdee,it does not reflect on your parenting (remember who is going on the plinth next).
Yes,send her off with them,frankly you have far more important things to worry about than a few harmless critters.

Lay off misdee you lot or I'll swing for ya!!
