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.

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:yeah:

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

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.

Never got them, neither did my sister.

Actually, I can't remember any cases at primary school.

Just means the school did a reasonable job of keeping kids safe from the stigma (as we see here from grown adults) that is attached to head lice. If a child has nits the school should make every effort not to identify them. Most schools do that well. Kids may think they know who the nits are on, other kids might also tell them, but more cases stay between the school and the family than people ever realise.

there is a million different types of bad parenting. Why is it when someone posts 1 thing people have to change into what they want to talk about and not what the original post was about. My wife and i check our daughters hair everyday while we brush it its not that hard to do its ashame other parents cant do the same.

Thanks also for pointing out the spelling and grammer mistakes this must make you feel really big

Because people need to realise that everything is merely opinion. I see bad parenting one way, you see it another. It helps those people who feel they are always right realise it's a big bad world. You see dealing with nits as easy because you think you have control of it. I see being a good literate example to your kids as a pretty simple ask - but there are plenty of those naughty bad parents who refuse to learn even though it would benefit their kids. As you said it's not that hard and it's a shame other parents can't do the same.

I deal with spelling and nits for a living. Does it make me feel big? no but i don't mind it. Does it pay the bills? Yes.

(i guess it'd be inappropriate to point out the spelling of grammar just now....)

Back on track - the bottom line is that fixing, stopping, curing, killing or maiming nits isn't as simple as you and a few others seem to think it should be and it shouldn't constitute an attack on parenting skills.
