SO's kids get dropped off (ex said he could pick up son but not daughter so he told her to just drop them both off) and SO is going to take his daughter out for her birthday which was the other day. I take her into the bathroom to put socks on her (it's sleeting and neither kid is wearing socks again) I go to brush her hair and ask her how her day was and she says "I watched cartoons and fell asleep." I ask "How come you weren't at school?" her "we got sent home" me "who sent you home? her "mom" me "why did your mom send you home from school?" Her cause the teacher found eggs in our hair." I look and oh there is no NOT seeing them, check his son not so bad but he has them too and was at daycare all day.
Me to SO "Get her back here right the F now and get the kids gone NOW!"
So now we know why he couldn't pick up his daughter cause she wasn't at latchkey they have lice and she wasn't going to treat them or even tell us! Hell no, oh hell No! I kept his daughter busy in the bathroom brought her brother in there and just kept them occupied. Thank god they'd been there but minutes their coats went right in a garbage bag, and I stripped my couch, my coats they had touched all went into scalding water and the brushes in the garbage outside. SO called BM told her she comes and gets then right now or she won't EVER get them back (after they are gone I'm told this is the 4th time in a year and a half they've had them and he's the one who had to treat them). What a piece of work. I will not spend my hard earned money on treating her kids SO just lost his job today and was already freaking out I'd throw him out over it, he's already upset over that gets the kids BM has them crying because she had told them today they could stay at grandpas but dad won't let them (same grandpa that last time we had them had told them he hated them and they weren't allowed at his house anymore)and lice to top off the night. I honestly think she did it on purpose to infest my house me and my kids. SO wrote his # down for both kids and told them if they weren't given medicine for their hair to call him. She came and got them (awful damn fast too guess the you'll never get them back freaked her out) I know she'll try and use it against him but she KNEW they had lice and said and did NOTHING! Out of my 2 kids only my oldest has ever had lice 1 time 15 years ago, and I quarantined the house and treated everything by the book for 2 weeks. I'm so furious at BM!

I cannot believe it happened again! What a piece of crap she is. Good for you for sending them back for HER to take care of it this time. I feel so sorry for those kids. Why can't BM take even moderate care of them?
Sorry about your SO's job too. Sad

What is it with some parents (not just BM's I've got a fun BD to deal with) and lice, fleas, sickness, ickies, whatever. I don't get it. I have two bio's, last weekend was their dad's weekend and his roommate was super sick with the pukes, fever etc (and my bio's think alcohol poisoning too) Now had I known I'd of asked to switch weekends make up time whatever, were both good about being flexible, but recently he's putting on a parenting show for new friends (used to be old friends of ours and they are judging him harshly from what I hear) He just didn't say anything, and our daughter ended up sick. Intelligent child she is she called him from school (she NEVER calls him when she's sick) tells him she's puking can he come get her from school, he whines he'll have to get out of bed why didn't she call mom? She tells him "your unemployed mom works and I'm sick because you had us around sick people." He picked her up and kept her till I was off work. (she wasn't that sick she has a cold and cough was forceful enough to make her throw up once) She really had hoped he'd just drop her at home but I'd already text him she had been trying to get me to call her in sick to school and she just had a cold cause I had that mom intuition kick in this morning when she didn't argue that I made her go to school. So she tried to play him, he palyed her right back, he kept her in bed, made her rest but her words were spot on. She later asked me why he's suddenly acting like a parent(ouch) I'd never send them knowingly sick or contiagous with anything I'd just make a switch just courteous you think, why get a bunch of people sick ( he has at least 5 people hanging around daily) why cost a bunch of money in meds or treatments for anyone that can be kept to a minimum. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only sane BM. (and I have my own brand of crazy that SO likes as he says). IDK common sense, goes out the window when people are jealous I guess.

I'm so sorry. Lice is horrible. It seemed the ONLY thing that got BM off her ass this time and got SD's head ridden of lice was the fact the school was notified she had lice and since BM doesn't want to be bothered with SD when she could be in school she finally got it all cleared. I felt sorry for the kid, she had them for FIVE months!

We are contacting the school on Monday and his son's daycare (his son went to day care all last week and he has them as well) The school obviously knew since they are the ones that found them. Guess the bonus to SO losing his job is now he has time to do the things he wanted to be more proactive with his kids care and school that he couldn't while working. So he's off to visit with those to places and let them know what's been going on, to ask if when there are future problems both with lice, general care of the kids, behavior problems, parent teacher confrences that he's contacted as well. BM tells him nothing and with no CO were not sure how far we'll get, but he loves his kids and wants whats best for them so he needs to know what's going on.
