How to deal with Moms at school yard

RachealB

My little girl 4, was sent home last week as teacher said she saw her itching her neck a few times and some kids mam had told kids not to play with her as she had "nits". Now my daughter has eczema really bad on her nape of her neck near her hairline, now as you can imagine horrified so went to my gp to ensure no lotions would hurt her condition. Gp a mother also, looked at her hair and told me she had no nits, flea or anything. So brought her to hairdress(2nd option) and she again checked it(as would not been able to cut same if nits). So she cut it for me. Now came out of school today and one little boy came up to me and said his mammy said he was not to play with my little girl as she has nits.. Want to ahhh don't want to go down to her level. Anyadvice. Have been to teacher and she said it was my issue.

Is there any way you can think of to communicate this to the other mother?

my mam said to ignore them as not the best "crowd" to be honest a bit as we say in limerick nackers. So don't want to say anthing but really want to. Have been checking non stop her hair for the last week,.... Even asked my hubby will we move her. As I the only mam they wont talk to in the line each morning, as we are not from the area but the school was near my mams for work etc.seemed the best choice, and love the school ethos ..thanks

Mention it to the class teacher again, it is a school issue if other children are isolating her. I'm surprised she would have been sent home for suspected nits, to be honest.

Hi Racheal - Perhaps you could ask the teacher to explain to the class what eczema is once you explain to her the consequences your child is suffering from her sending her home?

Best of luck

Meant to say, pretend you don't notice they are ignoring you, give a cheery "Good morning" and smile as you go past.

Talk to the teacher.
That is unacceptable behaviour from the other parent,the poor kid:(
