Chatting in the kitchen with DSD and saw one actually crawling on her fringe.

Wouldn't be so bad but I treated them two weeks ago!!! And did the follow up.

What's worse is I found huge one in my daughters hair....she is only one Hmm

Just got rid of over 200 live from DSD's hair while putting the treatment on

Had them on SD 6 times now at least over three years. Once she arrived with hair so matted it was clear it hadn't been brushed for at least a week. It took me an hour and a half to get a brush through her washed hair with conditioner on. She still comes here constantly from school with her hair filthy and matted. Why the school allows it is beyond me but it's a constant problem. In our case her mum has very long hair which also looks very poorly kept and often she doesn't treat herself when we treat SD in spite of us asking.

Mind her shoes don't fit and her clothes are filthy and full of holes too in spite of her mum being far better off then we are. We can't send things back to her home as she throws them out. It's upsetting when you can't do anything about these things and I'm almost resigned to having to deal with poor hygine and infestations until she's an adult
