I'd be PISSED if I were the play date mom. I might also expect you to pay for the lice killing shit if my kid got it from your kid when you knew that she still had it. Because, dude. Lice.
If my honest to goodness bff in the whole world needed me I would let her lice kid play in my backyard. But I would have to believe that she was on her way to the ER or something.
Skin is crawling. papie, I can't wait for your kids to not have lice anymore just so I don't have to read about it anymore. It makes me itch every time.
This is when you're courteous and cancel your appts to stay home. Did you tell the receptionist you have lice? At least give her a little warning since she was nice enough to watch your kids.

Man, I identify with you a lot and I would be a freaking hot mess if I had 3 kids AND lice but, dude. You are not That Mom. You are the mom that makes That Mom feel good about herself:(
I thought I had combed through my kids pretty thoroughly prior to hiring someone to come out and go through all of our hair.
I was wrong, wrong, wrong wrong wrong. She found SO MUCH more. It was horrifying.
I.... don't know what to say here.
Wait, this is a thing? Like a person that comes to your house and does the lice removal for you? Genius!
Yes. It is both ridiculously expensive and the best thing ever.
The company I used was called "Lice Happens." I literally called them sobbing at 6 a.m. after a sleepless night of phantom itching, and they sent someone out same day.
I told my husband he could count it as my Christmas and birthday present that year if he wanted, but we had to have them come out. It's safe to say that after discovering the lice I was.... not myself.
