Lice once again.

Tweet

It was another one of those weekends where all I wanted to do was scream, my step daughter was over again, and she yet again had a head lice infestation. She's infested at least once a month. While I do know that it has nothing to do with the cleanliness of someone's house and that they are quite difficult to get rid of, it's just tiring and costly for us to keep treating her and having her go right back to her mom, and her siblings at her mom's who aren't treated (at least I don't think so). What bothered me was when she had them a few months ago and her mom said she knew she had them and didn't do anything about it. The school my step daughter goes to was able to treat her at school instead. We spent already $30 on the lice spray and shampoo, and I have to go make my peppermint, and tea tree essential oil blend to spray on everything. It's so exhausting to keep treating myself and my husband every time she leaves as well. I love my step daughter, don't get me wrong, but she shouldn't keep having this happen. My husband did report the lice problem to CPS (I'm sure they'll do nothing or they might knowing that there was a problem with cleanliness at her mom's apartment before).
