Oh, I thought "Nit Picking" was a taboo subject - LOL! Nope, never had it with my boys. But sweet little Ashley with the long blonde hair got sent home from school with it. And wanna hear a really funny thing? It was probably the only time I went out and didn't put my cel phone on. So ex got the call. He had to leave work, pick up D, get the shampoo and nit pick! Ash was only about 8! Chuckie was NOT in a good mood when I walked in the house, totally unsuspecting. Ash was SO upset. Wanted to cut all that pretty hair off!
2 weeks later it happened again. This time at the cottage.I had to do it there - Yuck again! Barb
I just battled the nits in November and XH did not do a thing to help. I had to wash and pick both of my younger two kids several times before we were completely rid of it. I didn't expect any help from him though. When D17 was about 7 (and I was very pregnant with D10) she had lice and he didn't lift a finger to help then either. I did the shampooing very stressed about the possible effects on the unborn baby, and sat and did the nit picking with my huge belly in the way. Typical behavior for him....leaving me to do everything.
Did you reach a deciusion on the gifts yet. The 18th b-day is a milestone. Good luck with that!
