Not trying to start drama but this is the second time. I'm not saying she's a bad parent but like how do you not notice? I had to treat my whole house and deal with his school calling me. Tried to bring it up gently and she got defensive. What's the play here without it turning into a fight?
Second time is definitely worth addressing calmly but directly. This isn't about drama, it's about your kid's health. I'd send a message asking how it happened and what steps she's taking to prevent it going forward. Keep it factual.
That's frustrating. You're not being unreasonable by expecting basic hygiene standards when kids are switching homes. Not about starting drama, just about keeping your kid healthy.
Ugh been there. Just keep your cool and talk to her about it factually. Lice spreads fast in schools but if it's happening twice there's definitely something to discuss. Document it and keep records just in case you need them down the road.
Second time is definitely a pattern worth addressing. Not trying to bash her either but lice doesn't just happen randomly. You gotta handle the kid stuff at your place too though - nit comb every night for like two weeks or it comes back. Learned that the hard way.
Man that's frustrating. We had the lice thing happen once and it was a whole thing. Did you talk to her about how she can prevent it next time? Sometimes it's just bad luck at school but if it's twice that's worth a conversation.

Lice spreads so fast, honestly it could happen in any house. But if it's twice, yeah there might be some things she's not doing right with cleaning or follow-up treatment. Have you asked what her plan is this time?
