lice and life

[mama5146]

hey everyone i have a 5 year old who just started school this year and i wish she never had to. I think since the first day she came home with lice and now we gotta live with them cause i have tryed everything but i guess they wanna stay with us!!
I have 4 other children and the are clear but with the other children and having a 101 things to do i dont have time to put up with a winney 5 year old yelling "your hurting my neck", i love the kid as much as the others but something has got to give, i even thought about shaving her head and saying to people who asks that we did it for people who has cancer i know that that is wrong but i am about to pull my hair out, if anyone has any way to help i could really use it - thanks a bunch!!

also the nasty things dont like being moved around, so comb .comb disturb them .and wash all bedding etc all the time .

I think our local salon is part of a chain called "Lice to Know You."

There are professional salons that specialize in lice combing.  Google "salon comb lice" and you should find one.  They do a really good job, and are not expensive.

If you have four other children who are in the clear, please also remember that you have to vacuum all the furniture where the child's head has touched, (including car seats), and wash all the bedding and pillows, and vacuum the mattresses, or your problem will be bigger than just one child pretty soon, sorry to say.
