Just re-read this and realized it was long and rambling. It's a rant, sorry! Thanks for indulging me. I don't usually do this.
I have been in business going on 18 years, and this is just the 2nd case of lice. The first one was at least 10 yrs ago. Fortunately, this is a girl who ONLY comes after school for 45 minutes four days a week, and for various reasons, she hasn't been here since Monday this week. (Yes, I know it could still be transmitted, but the chances are lower.)
So anyway, naturally I do all the stuff I'm supposed to do, as far as my house, etc., and I inform all the parents immediately and told them what they need to do. They took it fine, but my PITA mom called me within 30 seconds of the email going out. I saw her name on caller id and ignored it. (Hey, I was busy with your kids LOL) But.... she calls again 5 min later. Oy. First thing she says is, "So who is it, when did they get it, and how was it found?" Almost in a tone of voice like we had some nice juicy gossip to discuss. It was weird. I just said, "well, I'm not saying for privacy reasons, but they don't come every day." She was like, "Was it Susie? Billy?" I just disregarded the question and repeated some stuff I said in the email about how she should check her kids at home, blah, blah, blah. But jeez, lady!!
And to top it off, she was on her way to have her hair cut!! This was 4:00, and my kids who normally leave at 4:50 and 5:00 had just been picked up early. She says, "well, I just need to have my hair cut real quick and I'll be there." I told her everybody just left, thinking maybe her husband could come because he had today off, but she's too dense to take a hint. Ugh. Oh, and dad also has Monday off, but the kids are coming. This family is a PITA. Love the kids to death, and have had them their whole lives (older one is 8), but the parents are just clueless. They don't do anything blatantly against my rules, they're just clueless. As far as going to get her hair cut, it's not against my rules since they are contracted till 5:30, but this is a thorn in my side because she KNOWS she pays till 5:30, and I'll be darn if they're not here till precisely 5:30 every day. She has come in different clothes than she had in the morning, she has come with pillow face and hair, she has come with grocery bags in the car, she has come with her dogs in the car, etc., etc. She KNOWS I'm done at 5:00 except for her kids!! Have some sympathy for ME once in awhile and pick up the kids a few min early. Even 15 min is a treat for me! But no.
Oh well, rant done. Thanks.
