I hit post too soon, I was also going to add that I to have made stupid choices and regretted them later, everybody has - admit it or not. I have been known to let my DD go to a party when she "may" have still been contagious with strep, but she had looked forward to it for a month. It included a limo ride, and I didn't have the heart to keep her home. Still was bad decision, but it happens.
Are you kidding me? This is when you explain to your DD about how we do not infect other people for our own fun. Strep is no joke. Jesus.
OMG, we all know and love Papie, as was said earlier, she knew what would happen when she posted this! Most people are just having fun. You're not some saviour. lol
Telling her she's selfish and awful is "having fun"?
If you need a "lice fairy", my guess is that shit is pretty bad.
I said it in the other thread and I"ll say it here. If this little girl will be at your party on Saturday, you're just throwing your money out the window with the lice fairy tomorrow.
Oh papie. Please tell me you didn't just share lice with someone who will be bringing it back to your house.

We are heading into winter when everyone is going to be "OMG my coworker is coming to work sick!" and 99% of the responses are going to be "FUCKING STAY HOME IF YOU ARE CONTAGIOUS OR LOSING A LUNG, ASSHOLE COWORKERS YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN'T MISS WORK." A chiro appointment, a playdate, a bday party, etc are all less important than work. You are an epic asshole if you think that going out in public with any kind of thing that can be passed to someone else easily (strep, lice, the plague) is okay. I don't care if you are "in a bad place." Get your head out of your ass and realize that your actions affect others.
Well... I'd be really mad if someone did this and my daughter got lice.
But I do have to say, you did ask her and warn her, so I guess ultimately it's her own fault if she said yes and her children get lice. It's not like you took them there and didn't tell anyone.
Whut?
It's super shitty to put the other Mom in the position of having to say no on the spot (when presumably the kids are already both present and excited for the playdate) and make her the 'bad guy' with the kids.
Hold on a sec ... papie, did you show up at the door and say "Here's my kid and oh btw there might me nits in her hair" or did you call her yesterday and say "We're treating for lice. Can you still take my kid tomorrow?" Because the first is beyond shitty do to and the second, well, if her kid gets lice that's sort of on her, but I'd be insisiting on paying for the lice fairy.
I had strep last week and I'd rather have that over lice any day. Please to note I did go home as soon as it was dx and kept myself quarantined in my bedroom until 24 hours after taking the antibiotics. They were a glorious 24 hours of peace. Maybe that's why I prefer strep...
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

She had been feeling a lot better since the day before, and I fully admit it was stupid, and actually completely not like me. I felt bad the whole time she was gone. But the point I was making is that we all make 1 or 2 stupid choices as parents and as long as we admit and learn from it we are human.
