I can honestly say that I try really, really hard not to be judgmental when it comes to parenting and the choices other moms make -- hey, I'm far from perfect as a mother, so who am I to say what's right or wrong?
But I have to admit I am completely and utterly horrified by the secret divulged on this episode of CafeMom Studio's Coffee Shop Confessions. HORRIFIED. Not necessarily because I can't understand why this mom did what she did, but, well ... head lice give me the CREEPS!!!
Really, I totally get that this mother was having a crazy week and a hectic morning and she didn't realize her kid had lice until a minute before they were going to leave for school AND the mom had an appointment at a salon right after drop-off ... but we're not talking about a stuffy nose here, we're talking about head lice! I would be SOOOO mad if my kid got lice from that mom's kid and I found out it was all because she didn't want to miss an appointment at the salon.
The Coffee Shop moms were similarity horrified, as you'll see when you watch this clip ... ugh.
Would you send your kid to school with head lice?

Oh HELL no! I can not even imagine the selfishness it must take to make a person do that.
Absolutely NO EXCUSE in the world would be a good one for sending a child with lice to school!!! Not only that but this Mom is going to a Hair Salon...are you kidding me? IF she herself has it(she could, she hasn't checked) she could be infecting other women at the salon!
Oh no! Not a hair appointment! God knows you can't miss one of those....
Selfish b!tch!!
This infuriates me! I am a child care provider and have had this to happen to me. I had a mom enroll her children at my facility, 2 boys, 1 girl. The boys came in with crew cuts, nothing unusual. A couple days later, I get a call from their school saying that they cannot contact their mother at work but I needed to pick (the girl) up because she still had nits. (@_@) I was horrified! Here I am with the two younger boys, who may possibly have nits also, and they are asking me to pick up the older girl from school!
Now my concern is for all of the other children! I told the school that they would need to call another person from the contact list and that I would also try to contact the mother at work. Which I did and not in the nicest way! I called her job and asked to speak to her. They said she could not come to the phone. I explained exactly what was going on and that she needed to come for her children immediately! She promptly called me back. 20 minutes later she picked up her children and I have not seen them since. Then I had to inform the parents about what had happened. Fortunately, they all understood and everyone checked their children for the next couple of days and luckily no one was afflicted.
What a very inconsiderate thing for anyone to do to children!
