I posted almost two weeks ago about our first encouter with head lice. My daughter picked up lice at school. I treated it and the school nurse said she could go to school. I was going away to Mexico on Tuesday and had made arrangements to keep my kids busy with overnights at friends and grandparents as my DH works late nights. Just to be safe I gave her a second treatment on Sunday night because I thought I saw one or two nits remaining.
On Friday night she goes to sleep at her friend's house whose mom is a good friend of mine. She was there for around 4 hours and then said something about having lice. My friend checked her head and thought she saw some so she brought her home. I get a phone call in Mexico with DD crying and DH not knowing what he is supposed to do with her when he goes to work. I do understand her not wanting DD to sleep over but they had already been playing together for quite a while. If she really felt she had to bring DD home she could have made up some excuse rather than making it clear that she was going home because of the lice. My DD was embarassed and sad and I was too far away to do anything. Would you be upset or am I reading too much into this?
