The friend’s mother needs to know, and why. Share the info and why.

Just tell them that you think she has lice
I also had the treat the car head rests
Tell the parent of the other child
find a new friend! the mother isn’t getting rid of it
Nope, just no, unless of course you want to do all the work of getting rid of the lice!
Advise her to bug out of there.
Um nope
Sorry that would be my answer
She would not visit my home again, her mom knows they have lice.
Have you talked to her parents
Maybe help the other mom get rid of the problem?..or no visit
Yes tree oil and a ponytail.
I would gladly offend that childs mother. Chronic untreated head lice is medical neglect and grounds for cps. When left untreated, it can cause iron deficiency anemia… and that can kill small children. Ask her what the problem is… where it’s coming from and why it’s not being dealt with… I’d feel responsible if anything bad happened and I could have done something.

A Big “NO”.
- no explanation is needed you are the parent
You need to have an open and honest conversation w the other mom.
I’m sure once you explain your situation to her, she will understand…If she doesn’t, ask her what she would do if your daughter gave her family lice. TWICE. If she can’t get over that, then it’s better if you cut ties now, while she’s still young.
Our school district doesn’t even send then home anymore
Speak to the mother tell her the truth, that it’s took weeks & a lot of effort to rid you all of them. Let her know you’re not placing blame just asking everyone that comes over from now on to double check their kids then it’s up to her to treat her kid or keep her away from yours. It’s hard & not the kids fault, offer the mother tips & let her know what worked best for you just in case they find any

We put a couple drops of tea tree oil in our shampoo to prevent getting them
I would skip friends for the summers
Protect your own family first. Explain to the mother gently. You said you didn’t let any friends come over to the house before so you can do it again. If you have to make an excuse why they can’t play together, so be it. Life will go on. Hugs.
Call the Board of Health, that girl is a hazzard.
No no way would I let then visit
Never should have asked me. Call the police maybe they can tell her nicely.since you cant.
Inform the parent the child has lice
Have them meet you at the park pool,
If you even have to ask…omg smh

My mom wouldn’t allow me to go over to a friends house anymore after I continually came home with lice. I can’t remember what she told me on why but I’m glad she did because I was tired of dealing with it. If you don’t want to cut her friend out just say that you will want to do a head check when they get there as you guys have been dealing with lice for a while
No. You tell your daughter no! It’s affecting your whole family, including ur son, whom u have to shave bald! The answer is no.
My mom would say: " I want to personally check your head to see if you’re clean before you set one foot in the door".
Clear and concise and everyone knows what’s up.
You talk to that parent and say what has happened and you must check their hair before they come over. I dealt with this years ago and it is the only option. I found out later that the child that mine kept getting it from was a neighbor and never knew until they moved and the babysitter told me. Good luck. If the mom is offended then she knows and keeps letting it happen 
As a side note, if you are low on resources you can saturate hair with cooking oil. Mayonnaise. Crisco, etc. Pay special attention to nape of neck and around ears. Wrap head in towel overnight. Shampoo and comb with fine tooth comb. You do not need Rid or other harsh chemicals.

Be honest and to the point with the other mum there is no other way.
Sorry, but no! It’s not fair to your kids to have to shave their heads and it’s not fair to you to have to keep paying to rid your house of lice. It’s also not fair to that little girl to be humiliated like that because her house isn’t clean. Her momma might need a little reality check. Or she might just get mad. Either way, NO!
If your daughter is old enough, dying your hair and straightening your hair daily seems to keep them off your head. Have your daughter take all her clothes off in a targeted spot when she gets home, tie them in a plastic bag, take them to the dryer, & dry them on high for an hour.
Use some tea tree oil drops in shampoo and conditioner. We have done this for generations and none of us have ever gotten it. I wouldn’t let anyone over until they’re confirmed lice free
I guess we all got it
Ok I think that question answers itself. But I will tell you NO WAY
No time for offending. You need to keep them apart. If they cannot get the problem under control, why would you even think exposing your child to this over and over again, or even your own family. You have stated you have gone through this numerous times in the past with the extreme situation with having to get the lice out of your own children’s hair and your home, why would you put your children through this again…one time and done. No second or third or so on chances… You as your children’s Mother need to protect your own children, not be concerned about anyone’s feelings. This is neglect on your part if you allow this to continue…This is definitely neglect on the other girls family and this other family needs to be turned into CPS if this is a continuation and a chronic issue as you have stated. You need to be a part of the solution for this girl, not contributing to their neglect.
I use marricon oil in my hair never got it
Let her come to your house and do her hair…
Pretend your do hair. Put mayo and plastic bag over her head or tell her mother the truth instead of infesting everyone
No… its just so contagious
Umm if you can’t answer that question with a NO yourself as a parent… you’re parenting needs to be evaluated BY CHILD and FAMILY SERVICES!

Sometimes you just have to ask mom. Did you have as much problem getting rid of this like I did?
Oh I’m sorry I don’t care who I would offend that’s just life you make sure that hey I’m not trying to be ugly or sound mean or hateful but I really need to check her head or you need to make double sure that the friend doesn’t have lice before you allow them to hang out and her to come over and you have to go through all that all over again lice is very hard to get rid of and it’s frustrating and aggravating and it’s just something I wouldn’t want to have to take a chance on so I would definitely say no until you knew 1000% that the girls head is lice free and has been for at least a couple weeks
Omg what the hell is you problem
Shave the head very bald. No more problem
How hard is it for you to say “NO?”
Check her head for yourself before letting her in the house and if she is clean let her in, otherwise send her home
Eeeeeeeeew So you just continually expose your child to this disgusting malady come on… Quit making it about how you are as a mother… do your job …if your kid’s mad at you deal with it … that’s part of the job …your house furniture linens etc are probably hideously infected now as well … smh ridiculous just ridiculous
I don’t even think that’s a question. Someone has lice (doesn’t matter who) keep them away until it’s resolved

I actually had this issue once, I’m extremely blunt and asked the mom if she was doing what was necessary to get rid of them. However, I flat out said that child is not coming over and you are NOT, under any circumstances to hang out with her until the lice issue is over. I even shaved heads, and pretty much poisoned my house. But, I hate bugs of any type. You may just have to be strict. I tried talking to the mother, bought her stuff to properly take care of it. And again, so I started checking the child at the door, and told her mom NO.
explain it to her in terms of health and welfare. The other mom is not taking care of the problem. No one has time for that…its a horrible experience cleaning that up.
I would speak to the girl’s mom and ask her if she needs help treating her family for lice. I would offer to help and then once the lice are gone there then it shouldn’t be an issue with the kids visiting each other
Tea bn oil does not effect lice. Go to your pharmacy and purchase a lice kit and keep your daughter away from her friend until her parents takes care of their problem. You can also report it to your local health departmemt.
Turn the table. Call her mom and tell her that YOUR kids got lice, and you don’t want YOUR kids to give it to anyone else. And it’s going to stay that way until everyone else get treated because you don’t know who actually got it!
Well her mother is not doing her job are she would not let the child leave the house till is fix just let your daughter know friends come and go
That is so much work. It happened to my kids as well. Passed it back and forth - but - I was very blessed in the fact that their little friend was like one of my own (still is). The girls would sit patiently while I went section by section through their hair and double checked before i would let them break free and play. Me and the other mom finally got it under control.
The best thing I can say is spray some diluted melaleuca in her hair and on her scalp… I would even spray the little girls hair and scalp as well
I do want to suggest Fairytale hair care for kids is a great line of products safe natural and repels lice. There is spray, shampoo. Conditioner,leave in conditioner and more on their line. You can also find their line on Amazon. Decent prices.
Tell the mom that your kids have had lice multiple time so for now your house is on lock down no friends for awhile until the lice problem going around is gone.
Then call the school nurse and make sure she is aware so she can check and help the mom.
Her mother needs to be offended, what kind of parent let’s their children get live this day in age, wake up
The truth, to the mother. Maybe she isn’t aware of the problem or doesnt know hos to deal with it. Maybe she doesn’t have the funds for all the washing, preparations.
Some do not have a reaction to bites, because one must be allergic or sensitive to have a reaction.
I’ve dealt with the same thing before. Check her head immediately as soon as she steps foot in the house. If she has lice call her mom and tell her to come pick her up. If you don’t want to do that (I didn’t because I was worried the poor child would just have lice forever and her mom wouldn’t treat it) have lice shampoo on hand and treat her yourself. Have her put on clothes of your daughter’s while the shampoo is in her hair. Wash everything she was wearing and that she brought with her. Now here’s the controversial part because her mom might not like. I personally did not gaf what my daughters friends mom thought. I was furious she had let her daughter go so long with lice without treating it. The poor thing was miserable. I slathered that girls entire hair and scalp in blue magic hair greese and put a shower cap on her head to cover it while she was playing at my house. It smothers any eggs or lice and kills what the shampoo didn’t get. It’s hard af to wash out and a pain because it gets everywhere (which is why my daughter’s friends mom was mad about it) but it works.
How can you be offending the mom if she’s a good mom? Explain to her what you went though to get rid of it and ask (maybe) if you could help in any way?
Do a research on lice and their transmission. Most if these posts are nonsense. (35 year RN here). Lice don’t jump. Adults can only live off the scalp 24 hours. 48 at the most. Eggs don’t fall off on objects. They ate laid only on hair shafts and are coated with a cement like glue substance. Head to head contact is how they spread.

Use common sense and say NO!! In the event she gets them use mayo to get rid of them.
Why is the mom of the child with lice not finding the source?
Take the risk of offending. Lice is a lot of work and expense.
Keep her home till it clears,….what else
Good God!
Definitely not playing inside.
Gift her with anti lice shampoo.
Offended not, protect you and yours. I wonder if she even knows.
Check her head outside in the sun before you let her in!!!
Offend away. Check if she is clean. If you trust the mom. I might go as far as calling the Mom.
Add tea tree oil to your shampoo and avoid lice issues
Contact the mother that is the right thing to do,
Pointblank ask her mother if the lice issue has been eradicated.
