...to think the mum on Embarrassing Bodies should have

[Ladyanonymous]

...done something about her daughters nits before now?!

Good grief?!

Or am I being judgy?....

[BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny]

I agree, 4 years! The poor mite was infested with them. They are not hard to get rid off, even if she just combed her hair every day with a nit comb.

[Ladyanonymous]

Did you see the size of them?!...And the amount of eggs?! Bleurgh!!

I cabn't stop itching....ekk!!

[underactivethyroidmum]

Nope I'm sat here scratching and thinking exactly the same as you !!!!

[windywendy]

Was it a girl?? I really thought it was a boy for some reason.

Poor little thing. I can't believe she
a) didn't sort it
b) subjected that child to having it broadcast on 'national television'

[Ladyanonymous]

I kind of want them to check the mums hair too...

[underactivethyroidmum]

WTF ???? The poor kid has been suffering for FOUR YEARS ??????

[Curiousmama]

[SoupDragon]

But if she had she wouldn't have been able to have her 15 minutes of fame on national TV.

[Ladyanonymous]

950 fucking eggs WTF?!

[RedBlueRed]

There is absolutely no reason for a child to suffer for 4 years with a nit infestation.

Yes they are persistant little fuckers but with a month to six weeks serious and consistant combing you can get rid.

Lazy parenting of the worst kind.

YANBU or judgy.

[underactivethyroidmum]

Poor poor child

That mother should be ashamed of herself

[SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus]

poor kids going to get bullied even more now (sad)

[Ladyanonymous]

The one with the poo problem may do too

[JustMyTwoPenceWorth]

Why didn't she sort it out, did she say?

[BAFE]

she said she's tried everything and every product but clearly she hasn;t done the "comb with nit comb every night for 2 months".

I agree, lazy parenting.

[underactivethyroidmum]

Because she obviously doesn't give a shit !

[Ladyanonymous]

She couldn't be arsed couldn't.

Because I do not believe she went through her hair every night like she just said and there were still 950 eggs in there.

Shes just shown herself up IMO.

[AitchTwoZone]

lol at lazy parenting. call her a shit mother by all means but lazy parenting is just soooo daily mail.

[Disenchanted3]

I though this poor girl

[ptiger]

I think mum said the reason when the little girl was in the clinic, she wouldn't sit still for her, she probably just gave up if the little girl wouldn't sit still. what is going to happen if she gets them again another 4 years!!!!!

[CharlieBoo]

Omg wasn't it shocking?!!!!! Me and dp watching it I said what a lazy cow!!! She had just left them!! Absolute disgrace, she made herself look like a lazy biaaatch!!!!

[Ladyanonymous]

She could've gone through it with a bloody garden fork removed more than the poor kid had in her head when she arrived in the TV studio....mum said shes like a different kid, is it any wonder?!

[SparklyGothKat]

Am watching on +1, I struggled to get rid of my Dds nits, we had them for about 6 months but we got rid of them in oct and have been clear since Took a lot of combing and time. The mum was properably just throwing chemicals on her daughters hair and not bothering with the combing

[MudandRoses]

Lol, I started a thread about it in Telly Addicts! I couldn't believe you'd let the problem go on so long. The first respondent said she'd had the same experience of finding them impossible to get rid of...
I'm just saying...
