My little sister has head lice..?
My little sister has had head lice for around 3 months. I'm 13 years old, by the way. My mom has bought drugstore treatment numerous times. I've spent 3 hours each time combing through my sister's hair. I'd then wash all my sister's things. I've done lots of research. And then I was 99% sure my mom had lice too, because she was scratching her head and she would occasionally sleep in tthe same bed as my sister. So I would nag my mom to wash her hair and everything too. But then I asked my mom if I could comb her hair myself, to make sure to get all the eggs out, but she wouldn't let me. She was too stubborn. So she washed her own hair, and then she told me she washed her blankets and everything but I'm rpetty sure she didn't... I am going to extreme measures to try to get rid of the lice. But my mom is acting like it's no big deal. Like, for example, she refuses to buy more treatment because she's already spent lots of money on treatment before. But the reason the lice keeps coming back is her fault because she doesn't go to extreme enough measures to get rid of the lice on the clothes, blankets, ect. I've spent EVERY weekend the past MONTH washing EVERYTHING. But my mom is lazy and doesn't do her fair share of the work to get rid of it. I don't know what to do anymore. I've been staying home every day because I'm scared that I'm either going to give my friends lice(even though I know I don't have it) and I don't want friends coming over because my sister has it and I don't want them to get it. But school's starting soon and I just want the lice gone. Please help! My mom isn't taking this serious enough...
My little sister hears voices in her head?
i have a 11 yr old sister that has been hearing voices in her head. its happened 4 times now and she says a little girls voice tells her to get out the house repeatedly. she cries when its happening because she get scared, she told us after the 2nd time it happend and didn't want to let us know because she said she thought we think she was lying or was crazy. we can all be having dinner as a family having fun and than it happens to her. she also told us that shes tried to ask the little girls voice who she is and she gets no answer. what does this mean and what should i do? im really worried about her and don't want her to end up having a mental illness. shes an A student and shes a sweet girl, could this be caused by stress? or is she an indigo child?
My little sister has head lice. What do I do?
I have four little sisters that are all under the age of ten. One of them apparently has head lice, the little black ones. She's not infested with it, but she has a few bugs and a couple eggs and is about to get the shampoo treatment. I sometimes play with her hair and always let her sit on my lap and lay her head on my shoulder (she's kind of my favorite). Should I be worried about having lice? I always thought because I use gel and hair grease in my hair I couldn't get lice, but you never know. Lately I've been rather lazy and haven't put anything in my hair and it's really dry but super curly at the same time. Did I mention I was black? I'm also mixed with some Puerto Rican. My little sister though is part black part Mexican, so she has wavy, thin hair that she washes everyday. Any advice on what I should do? She has a bunk bed and shares a room with the rest of her sisters. I'm so disgusted right now and I'm worried that I may get lice. Should I get a hair perm to avoid it?
How do I deal with my little sister going through her pain in the butt phase?
Too funny! Your sister going through her pain-in-the butt phase. You didn’t say her age…Why can’t you just mentally run that sentence through your head when she is in the process?She loves you to death, try to be patient with her, knowing that whatever she’s doing/saying that:‘This, too, shall pass,’ 20 times or so. Then you can rise above it :)
I saw my little sister having sex?
The fact she had sex with him when you were all at home, to my mind, shows that first, she doesn't give a fig about who sees her and I doubt this was the first time! Saying: get out, is not showing embarrassment, but annoyance that you walked in. I can imagine how you feel, because despite my sister now being 40 and a mother of 5, when she talks about sexual things, I actually am screaming in my head: nooooo you are my baby sister, this is not right! I have to shake myself mentally, for obviously lol she is not my BABY sister, even if she is due to her age difference. You can try talking to her but certainly not lecturing, but I get the sensation she would just shrug her shoulders and think: so what. So really, despite the fear of being hated by her, you are better approaching mum and telling her, so that she can take over dealing with it. My youngest niece who is just 14, lost her virginity to a bet at 13 and told me that she loves having sex and intends continuing and has go on to have sex with a few boys now. I truly feel for you!
My little sister has lice what do I do?
Okay, so my little sister came home from school with lice! Gross, I know! So I'm kind of scared i'm going to get it.. We both share the upstairs and we share the same bathroom. My Mom had me vacuum everything, but I'm scared that didn't really get rid of that. I'm a HUGE germ a phobe so I don't want lice!!!!!! Is there any other things I can do that are fairly inexpensive? I also need to know what to do with the bathroom my sister and I share. like should I clean that and if so what with?
What can I do about my little sister hurting me?
Your little sister, age 6, is hurting you while you are stuck in bed with a broken leg. “… when i sleep my sister (6) smacks me in the face, and today she threw a heavy toy at my head and it left a bruise. My mom lets her do it and doesn’t care.”You feel you can’t physically stop her, since she’s a kid and you’re an adult, but you can reason with her so that she has a paradigm shift and stops misbehaving because she understands that the reward for misbehaving doesn’t exist anymore. Tell her:It isn’t okay to harm other people.As her sibling, you are more than ‘other people’ — you are siblings.Because you’re siblings, you’re a sibling team and in a family team.Teams work together to make something good, something bigger than the members of the team.The thing you as siblings are making, along with your parents, is a constantly improving home life for all members of your family.Families aren’t perfect, parents aren’t perfect, and siblings aren’t perfect, because people aren’t perfect.In a team, every member keeps improving as best as s/he can.Being part of a team means you help, and don’t hurt, your team members.Ask: how you can be a better teammate for her? Then, ask: How can your parents be better teammates for her?Ask: What could she do to be a better teammate? Suggest: Wouldn’t being kind to you, her sibling, improve team relations?Remind her that you will be better soon, and out of bed in a matter of days or weeks.Let her anticipate that you will be the best team mate she ever had, once you recover and are out of bed.Ask: What would she like to do with you once you are sufficiently recovered to be able to run, jump and play with her again?Fulfill your promises. Do as you say you will do.Behave toward her as if she is just learning how to be a good team member. She is, after all, imperfect and just learning to improve. Like all of us.
How bad is it to hurt my little sister after she pissed me off? She started to scream so loudly which woke up our little cousin and I hit her in the head. I feel terrible.
This is very bad. It's good that you recognize this. You could have killed her. You know this .You won't do it again, now will you ?Little sisters annoy their older siblings sometimes , so what you do, is to just walk away . You are older and stronger , and you could do some serious damage .My older brother beat the hell out of me when We were in grade school, and I remember it to this day.
My little sister is in the hospital on chemo and is complaining about her head being itchy and burny. Is this a sign her chemo is working?
Hi!Although your sister surely is not feeling well at all during and for awhile after chemo your letting her know you care is important for her emotional support.The uncomfortable and itchy scalp may be a side effect of the type of chemo and should be reported to the chemo nurse who will know if this is common and be able to discuss it with your parents and your sister, (of course with the physician in case anything is unusual).Yes, hair falling out is very commonly a side effect of chemotherapy.Many brave kids and women too, want to shave their heads when they start to lose their hair. This is your sister's choice, no one else's. There are many cute ways to wear a ribbon or colorful bandana tied around the beautiful, newly bald head. There are also head wraps in colorful patterns to hide the baldness and keep warm!For later:On the other hand you haven't mentioned your sister's age. She may be at an age when she would feel embarrassed for everyone to "know" when she's later out in public - back at school and so on.In this situation a well-made wig might be helpful, if affordable. In the USA some insurers pay for it. For your parents to think over and look into.Best to you, your sister and parents at this challenging time!
