Not hurting feelings.

Brittany • Married to my best friend and we have two beautiful children who are 21 months apart.

Guys I really don't know what to do in this situation because I'm trying to avoid hurting feelings.

So maybe some of you can give me advice on how to go about this appropriately.

Okay, so my 5 year old niece lives with my mother in law, but it seems like every time she is with us she has lice. This has been an on going battle for a year now. We have her a good bit and I have treated her head, but it does me no good because she will go home and then come right back with it. I guess they don't go to the measures they should to get rid of them off the sheets and pillows ect...

Me and my husband have told my mother in law on countless occasions that they need to treat her hair but she only does some home remedy crap! (I'm all for home remedies, but it's not killing the lice.)

I have a little boy who just turned two. He has gotten it before from her back around Christmas, and I just noticed he has little nits in his hair. So I'm going to treat his hair.

Me and my husband just bought a house and it's literally 3 miles away from them. I refuse to allow my children around their cousin if this continues. I have no idea why it is so hard for them to go buy a 10 dollar bottle of treatment and treat her head.

It's to the point now where it is border line neglect in my opinion. I had lice a few times growing up but I definitely didn't walk around with it for more than a day or two.

It frustrates me that they can spend money on other things but cannot get this crap out of her hair. They do not have their priorities together obviously!

My mother in law claims she has bought stuff to treat it but she says her hair is to fine to get the nits out! Which is complete BS if I can get it out of my son's hair at 17 months old than there is no excuse for her to be walking around with it.

I love my mother in law but I cannot allow my niece around my children until they get this crap under control. I just have no idea how to tell her that. My husband said he doesn't have an issue hurting their feelings because it's ridiculous at this point!
