Why do we listen to others over our own intuition? More specifically, why do I listen to others instead of my own intuition? It has proven it's self over and over again but I still listen to others before I listen to it.

On Sunday night at 12:30 there was a knock at my door. It's my son and he says to me, "Mom, please check my head. It won't stop itching." Sure enough I found nits. The kids have had two extra days of spring break while I have been working to rid us and the house of lice, again. I saw him itching and kept asking him to let me check his head. But, he kept saying it was dandruff. Why did I listen to him? But it wasn't just him. My own head had been itching. I even told my husband that it felt like bugs crawling around up there (yuck right?). But, even though I've never had dandruff, I took my husband at his word (without checking) that that was what was causing my itching. If I had just listened to my own intuition we could have taken care of this over spring break without missing any school. This is the second time this school year we have had lice. I really hope we don't go through this again this year. I am sooo over this mess.

But, any who, now you all know why I haven't been on here and why I haven't weighted in or measured yet this week. I've been to busy with this stuff. Tomorrow I will weigh (I expect a gain from Easter pig out) and measure. Right now I'm still washing bed linens so we can all sleep on bug free beds tonight.

Happy journey everyone!

Lots of possible answers to your question, but one answer Is most of us do NOT like any kind of confrontation. Myself included... Best wishes on getting the situation remedied. AND may the rest of your week be totally routine!!!

What state do you live in 
07 Apr 15 by member: hayden ramirez
We live in rural Alabama. Lots of farm land and open spaces. The kind of place that bugs love.

Lice! I'm always worried about that when working with kids (I run a tutoring business). They are so prone to it. Hope everything clears out fast! I'm sure it will be gone in no time Wishing you the best

I have to agree with SuccessThisTime lol. Yeah, don nobody want to be confronted especially by something negative. I hope they go away!

We appear lice free at this point but I'm still concerned. Conventional wisdom says to retreat in 7-10 days but the MD said we don't need to with the treatment she prescribed. I'm skeptical; we'll see.
