As many of you on the site are parents I thought I'd have a half term whinge
Not whinging that the kids are off school (means lie ins for a week) but the fact that there are no school nurses these days and every week my kids seem to get nits!!!
So after an interrogation in the local pharmacy we now have some bottles of awful smelling nit lotion and guess what? I have the blighters too grrrrrrrr
Great start to the week off eh :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Are all schools/kids the same?
Fortunatly we have not got the problem and never have had, so what are the schools here doing different, perhaps its time to ask them.
your right about one thing perhaps reintro of the nit nurse like when we were young would be a good move.
Guess the goverment would say its not worth the money, but for the parents who have to deal with the little buggers it would be a god send better than all the crap they do waste money on.
you have my simpathies
I feel for you, my daughter had nits in the summer holidays and they are little sods, never had them myself and was surpirsed to find my daughter itching thought it was dandruff at first. A good brursh and tea tree conditioner does the job. Just the thought of them makes me begin to itch.
F
same problem here im sick of the ruddy things something needs to be done and sharpish
ie the children infested should be kept away from school and only allowed back once they are clear andd that includes my children too
I guess it proves we have clean hair!
Sick of itching here though FFS :cry:
Seems I am wrong.
Head lice can live in any typr of hair, clean or dirty.
well the quickest solution for me was to shave my head! also works well when ya get craps .. but thats a different not so nice story! that is best left forgoten!!!!!
JGL
The school where I work is constantly infested...... there's several families who never seem to be free of them and reinfest everyone else.
Unfortunately as a school there's nothing we can do.... if the nitnurse was still around all she could do is send them home with a letter.... its then down to the parents to treat the kids.... but then there's families who don't give a stuff so the kids just get sent back still crawling the next day.
I think I must be immune to them.... touch wood
maz xx
Well I won't be getting a shag tonight smelling like this grrrr
Not exactly good for a new relationship is it - had to tell him to check his hair too after spending the weekend here!
And I'm still itching :shock:
Seems to be a growing problem these days. people had nits back in my school days but we had nit nurses and the problem never seemed to get so far out of hand like it does today. Hope you get the problem solved. Why not campaign for thr return of Nit Nurses too..... as I recall our schools nurse was quire dishy! lol
Gotta stop thinking about it i'm itching all over.
ok ok ... sound advice coming up
Lice are like fish .. they breath through gills, make them close the gills long enough and they suffocate. To do this you need to wet the hair and smooth it in conditioner ... leave it on for as long as possible (hours this means) and then comb through with a special nit comb.
Chemical killers are becoming useless and something like tea tree oil will help as the lice hate it.
You need to repeat this every other day for about a week and it should clear up.
There are natural remedies you can buy which work well also.
yea apparently they can close their gills for 24 hours or something like that
so smother the kids hair in baby oil for a who;e day i always do a day and a half just to be sure
and then comb it
it also stops the eggs clinging (well most of them)
then wash there hair twice comb it again
then wash it again
and comb it again
i do it as often as possible
it works too
