I'm HATE the job of nit picking ggrrrr! Jake has them again... and again he never told me he had an itchy head I just spotted him scratching so asked him and he said "yeah it's been itching the last few days" so annoyed. He had them quite bad last time and it took me hours because there was one large one (quite grossly large) that must have been the one he "caught" from someone but it had had the chance to lay about a million eggs and what weren't eggs were too small to pick our with a nit comb, it was a nightmare!!!
Anyway I felt like shaving his hair off then. I did get his hair cut shorter then it has been for a while but it is longer again now. I even booked him a haircut today.
I'm more annoyed with whoever it is that isn't telling the school. I ALWAYS tell them when I find nits on Jake so everyone can check their kids otherwise the problem just circulates. He's had nits more times at this school then he has in his life and he's only been there about 14 months.
Sorry I'm totally ranting but still fuming at the moment and it is my worst parent job I reckon!
Anyway there is a reason I'm posting here. What is best to put on his hair now we've combed through them with a nice and clear head lice conditioner thingy. Someone said they hate tea tree oil so he's currently stinking of it!
Any other suggestions gratefully appreciated!
