I am that mom everyone hates today

[papie]

I dropped my kid and her lice off at a play date. I did warn the mom that there are still nits, and put her hair up and she has a headband.

I arrived 15 minutes late at my chiro appt with two kids. One of which is a baby and can't sit on his own and I forgot his stroller. The receptionist is holding him for me and watching Sophia while she colours. They had told me it was fine to bring them but with no stroller I pushed it to the next level.

The other mom was ok with her having nits still?
She's a damn good friend, Papie, because I would've (died of embarrassment because I am shy) rescheduled the play date.

[snipsnsnails]

Wha?!?! Why in the world did that mom take her?

[Kristinmo]

You are worse than "that mom." No way should you have taken her to the playdate.

[cinderbella]

Gross!

She's totally sending you a bill for the Lice Fairy if her kid gets it.

[jlt19]

Yeah, I went against the advice of everyone here and sent my kid to a birthday party where another kid had pink eye, but NO way would I knowingly let a lice infected child in my house.

[anlo]

Nooooo.

Noooo.

[luckyval]

Oh, papie. I would have rather left her with the receptionist as well.

[CurlyQ284]

No no no no.

[dizzydee]

I'll admit I'm judging the shit out if you. I would have just stayed home and cancelled everything. You put the other mom in an awkward situation. I'd also tell the chiro so they can sanitize properly. And make sure you clean the car seats and car, this is how a friends kid kept getting reinfected.

Exactly. LOL

[callalily]

Oh hell no.

[nannersp]

Not cool.

[cinderbella]

Also - I hope the weather is nice there because no way in hell would your kid step foot in my house.

[LLL]

damn girl. I think you put the play date mom in an awkward position. I might have accepted but I'd be talking shit for sure. 

[lulu13]

Did you let her know before you arrived to drop her off for the play date?

[flex]

No effin' way.

papie what are you thinking?

[dexteroni]

Holy shit. Well, at least your post title is accurate! lol. Cancelling both the play date and chiro appointment would have really been the sane thing to do.

[popple]

That's gross, and irresponsible. I would have been livid if I was the mom.

Dude. Did you hit your head or something?

Maybe it's the LICE...
What's done is done, Papie. Just be aware you'll probably be talked about in mom-circles for a bit.

[eddy]

Oh god I am itching right now.

[sparkythelawyer]

Why did you do that?

[sporky]

That other mom is a lot nicer than I am.

Are we being punkd? Papie!!

Get off that adjustment table and post here - the receptionist has your kids, you've got time!

[Deleted]

Why didn't you keep her home from playing?

[LLL]

Also, it has come to my attention that I have the world's worst poker face. So while my words might be "sure, I guess that would be okay" my face would be doing the above
