RANT*********I'm not the proud mother of three boys. two of which have their heads shave almost bald due to my eldest mother sending him to my house with head lice yesterday!
his "mother" has known since Monday that he had it she DID NOT tell my step sons dad but told everybody else INCLUDING HIS MOTHER and to top it off she tried to pin it on my house thats how we found out about it. so I of course had to email the school on their policy on lice since he has had it since Monday but we where unsure if it was treated since I take him to school Thursday and friday. they informed me that they had no idea about the situation and sent him to the office to get checked and he indeed did have it and they made her pick him up. they also told me that he has to be checked by the nurse before he's allowed back at school..... she was really mad about having to pick him up and then knowing. and because they told her that they would call his dad as well she finally called my hubs and told him and again tried to blame my house so he was like "i find it funny how you are blaming my extremely clean spotless house that has five other kids in it daily that Kim watch and NONE of them have it ONLY him and he didn't have it until after he got back to your house! "she yelled that she will see him at drop off and hung up.we met at five yesterday and she was going off about how she has no idea how they found out about him having lice she took his hair and cut it down to a size three. and FOUND ONE MORE WHILE WE WHERE STANDING THERE!!!! she claims to have treated it and handed us a box that she claimed to have used THAT WAS 40$ IT WAS UNOPENED! I had already went and baught the exact box for 25$ so I know that was BS. we got him home immediately into the tub by the end of the bath. 20!!!! dead lice fell out. I pulled 30! eggs !!!
needless to say after my eventful evening both kids are shaved as a precaution my middle son started screaming because he didn't want bugs in his hair my head got treated as a precaution since I was the one that was messing with his head and I checked the baby and the other little boy I watch with. a robicomb
question is do u think I am overreacting to this or am I acting totally normal
@munchkin22, she is extremely angry and jealous with my hubby for having moved on with his life before she did and having a stable household. where as she jumps around from man to man and lives in a horrific trailer with her ex his motherand their 7m daughter and the 4.5yr old (my SS) we have court in may 5 and she has yet to let the gal come to her place or talk to him. where as he's done come here investigated my house. spoken to us and the lawyer. and has also spoken and confirmed our living conditions with friends of ours with out them knowing who he was
That is just rude. What does it benefit her not to tell you? Idk as a mother I feel like I wouldn't want to put anyone else's children through pink eye or lice if I'm already watching my own child suffer through it.
@munchkin22, but instead she wouldn't until the school said they would call. I just got off the phone with my hubs mom and she informed me that she got a call from my ss mom she was cussing up a storm because she had to tell us about it and she wasn't planning on telling us about it. so now I'm even more ticked. I baby sit for a living I can't afford. the kids I watch getting lice because of her being petty
this isn't the first incident like this webe had she has sent him to my house with contagious pink eye a month after my 27weeker came home my baby got it.
It is common curtesy for her to let you know he had lice as soon as she knew so that you could watch out for it with the other children you have.
I would be too if I were the teacher... to me that's irresponsible, to send the child knowing they have lice
@sarahdrew, the teacher was very upset everybody in the class got checked note got sent home and everybody be came in contact with at school was checked
you did what you should have done with treating it... I would be upset too, especially if the mother knew about it and sent him to school, now the school has to send a note home with all the other kids and have them checked
I think head lice is pretty common. Could have gotten it from school easily. I don't think blaming anyone for it is going to fix anything, just getting it treated is the main concern. Although coparenting is extremely hard (I do it with 2 different fathers), it's best for the kids to try to be civil.
@munchkin22, she has verbally told him that she will ruin his life and if she had our her way he would never see their son because he won't be with her even though she apologized for cheating on him and leaving him with nothing. it's a disaster. my hubby on the other hand handles it all very oddly he hasn't yelled at her or directly put her down hasn't threatened her. hell he barely speaks to her unless it's absolutely needed about their child. and even then she screams at him infront of the kids I've had to make her leave my house for screaming at him for being friends with somebody that doesn't like her. she really loves the dramatics
