how hopeless are some parents?
Hi all,
just a winge for today. it really annoys me when parents cant/wont look after thier children properly.
So what happened is that my son went back to school taday, and he came home with nits.
Now this isnt the first time it has happened but it is the first time he has got them first day back. My partner checks his hair at least twice weekly and i know that he was checked lasty night so he definately got them today.
end of rant.
cheers shane

yeh i got little bros, my mum uses that nit cream stuff, and has to get rid of em almost every 2 weeks like you, its pritty bad. I think some parents really dont care, a bit sad. I see it as a real problem.
?!?
Wow, thats the extent of your issues with how some people raise their children? Your clearly a lot more tolerant of shoddy parenting than myself.Originally Posted by maginoodle
HSV, i just want one
i work at woolworths mate...i see bad parenting on a daily basis..some kids are that bad u wanna drop kick them from the back end of the shop out the door
i hear ya man, my gf's ex kept taking the kids to his bogan mates house every weekend he had them and they always came back with them even after she told him not to go round there.
she tried everything from vinegar to the foam stuff but nothign worked.
theres soap you can get off ebay which really works, it gets rid of them and they dont coem back.
i highly recommend it

it's an unfortunate facet of primary schools. Best thing is to keep the kids hair short. It isn't always particularly bad parenting - the way these things spread and lay dormant make them particularly difficult to beat. You'd have to get EVERY parent to treat EVERY kid thoroughly for a full course to completely beat nits and that's only effective if home is completely egg and nit free too which can at times be impossible to know.
Also a misconception that nits jump - nits don't jump they have to make head to head contact to pass them on so i guess parents need to tell kids to stop touching heads lol.

This thread makes my head itchy
My nephew use to get them all the time, now they have a spray bottle at the front door, and its diluted lavender or aloe vera, I cant remember which one, Ill find out. But a few squirts on his way out each morning and he hasnt go nits since.
moderator- for now anyway
We were doing well, my daughter hadn't picked up nits all the way until year 4 despite always getting notes sent home twice a week or so saying theres been a case of headlice in your childs class. She got them a few days ago off the feral kids across the road. She has very long hair so its been a real pain in the arse. Everyday I do her hair for school, put it in a pony tail and plait it tightly, put heaps of mousse on it and give it a good spray with tea tree oil diluted in water because apparently the head lice hate tea tree. I have been complacent though in the school holidays not following our usual routine and this is what we get.
So I feel your pain mate, same thing goes with other contagious diseases where the parent sends their kids to school to spread it knowing full well that the kid is affected. I'm just glad I'm in a position where I don't have to place my younger kid in daycare because diseases and nits run rampant in those places.
my daughter is starting at a new school tomorrow im also worried about her getting head lice as well. Her hair is fairly short but will still be tied up i dont know how she would react to getting nits she has never had them before
If its got Wheels or Boobs its gonna cost ya money

nits or head lice will infest clean hair before dirty hair... it's a misconception that only dirty people or unkempt people spread lice. My Kids used to get them at school... more so my daughter because she has thick hair. And she used to tread her hair on a regular basis.
Usually, kids have them for a while before they even know they have them.

I think a lot of parents would probably be too tight to treat their kids, they don't make the treatments cheaps, I spend $65 on them a few days ago then have to repeat after a week. Funny I just mentioned nits in the chatbox yesterday because I was curious as to what these peta hippy freaks would do if they got headlice (or crabs etc.) seeing as they respect all living lifeforms it would be wrong for them to kill them.
Honestly the best way to get ridd of nits,
is to get ur kids to leave their conditioner in their hair, then thoroughly go through their hair with a nit comb. The conditioner causes the nites to be paralysed for some time, allowing you to remove them. It also helps as it will be very easy to put the comb through ur kids hair(it wont hurt them)
its cheap and definately works better then those soaps and cream you can buy specifically for this purpose.
my wife came across and good cheaper alternative it was a tea tree shampoo about three bucks a bottle it doesn't kill them you have to brush them out but once there gone this stuff repels them. worth a shot, worked well and still use it to this day.
I may be crazy, but, i am happy about it!!

Thats the one, I couldnt think of it above. Thats all my sister uses on her son, and he hasnt had nits since.
Make the stupid stop!
You are so misinformed and making baseless assumptions. Dirty hair and bad parenting is not the cause of head lice.
How would you react if I said you are a bad parent yourself as your child has head lice and probably contaminated other children today? As you admit your child has had them before. Could other parents think you don't look after your child and he is a dirty little boy?
Deal with it - head lice are a part of being a school kid, but it certainly has nothing to do with how one is raised. You even get infections in private schools
I was going to use insecticide on my daughters hair but my wife wouldn't let me do it
Parents who send there kids to school with nits i do classify them as bad parents. How bad would the child feel for investing a shool with nits and the teasing from other children.
It is up to PARENTS to treat nits nobody else they should be checking there childs hair at LEAST once a week
If its got Wheels or Boobs its gonna cost ya money
Just hand me the pliers.
been through a few lice epidemics now
Best bet for getting rid of them is a cream for the lice (The live suckers) then go through the hair picking out the eggs.
We did this to my g/f's sister nearly every night for a week, got rid of her nits, every night she used the shampoo then we went on a egg hunt, nits (The eggs) and the lice dont survuve long off of the body, although i'm still 100% for washing everything after a lice scare.
my nieces and nephews all have had lice too, ohw hat fun that all was. it takes persistence but its not hard work, I feel sorry for the single parents working two jobs with three kids that all have lice, easier to shave there heads.
I remember when I was a young lad (I hate myself saying that these days) Mum would just use a bit of kero in the hair to kill everything off and then jump in the shower and wash it all off.
One parent I saw yesterday left her 4 year old kid walk in the other direction along the roadside for about 10 - 15 m (all she did was just turn and walk away).
Now even if the kid didn't want too, take her by the hand, and walk her to the car yourself, much better than the kid deciding that they want to cross the road out of your reach and getting run over. (I drove past very slowly in horror)

Thats Dr to you.....
Never got them, neither did my sister.
Actually, I can't remember any cases at primary school.
stick your kid under the car for awill let them get all grease and oil in there hair i bet they dont get them lol but serously they only like clean hair my son is only 2 and he has had them from his cousins they go to school and kinddy i didnt get them coz i went and got under the car grease works wonders hahahaha use tee tree oil in water in a spray bottle it works

no head to head contact there :P
on holiday
yip kerosene is one of the best things as its oily and the buggers cant stick some lice shampoos used to say treat hair with kerosene before using the shampoo.we have done the kero trick on a few mates kids allways works a treat and is cheaper than doing them every week with lice creams etc.you can get an electric lice comb that zaps the little buggers too they work ok for getting the afterschool ones
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong

Haha Probably the case, but hey it works lol.

did you read my post about how nits spread? A kid would never know if they inFested a sChool with lice. It is entirely possible that there would be an unnoticeable infestation when the parent first checked THEIR child's hair, yet within a week there can be a plague of them.
Bad parenting are those parents who don't make the effort to spell or speak better than their 10 year old. That's a difference of opinion though, i suppose.
