Hybrid routines once home

[Anonymous]

We always have our kids take off shoes when they get home and wash hands after. I'm sure at least until I feel secure we may solely shoes and backpack and leave in hallway for an hour why they unwind and have some food. I remember a while back they found shoes had the most Covid on them when exposed or something. Mask will go in laundry room.

Sorry not soley...but spray shoes with Lysol

We put coats/shoes in separate mudroom always. Masks go in dirty mask basket there also and get washed weekly. Wash hands when arriving home.

I have a high school girl with long hair and am thinking about having her take a shower when returning home (she takes one every day anyway) because she plays with hair a lot and it is obviously near her eyes/nose/mouth. We are pretty cautious overall, but I've not been impressed with what I've seen from other teens in town that will be in school with her.

Calm down. Wash their hands and change into house clothes when they get home. It’s funny to me. We have done this in our family forever. Haven’t changed a thing since COVID (except masks). I’m still laughing about people washing their groceries they brought home last year.

Whuh? You've been making your kids change into "house clothes" all along, and you're telling others so calm down? Okay then.

My kids have been hybrid since September. They literally walk in the door, take themselves and their stuff up to their rooms, then hit the books. Not sure they even wash their hands. There hasn't been a single transmission of coronavirus in their school since September--so I am 100% sure that my DD is not bringing it hom with her in her hair. I can't believe the idiocy here.

It’s weird because parents have been very upset that their kids haven’t been in all this time because they fully believe it isn’t transmissible in school and won’t affect them and their kids yet now that they’re going in there’s all these elaborates plans for decontamination when they get home? Which is it??

I’ve done it my whole life! School clothes and play clothes as a kid and work clothes house clothes as an adult. What’s wrong with that? Why am I getting so much hate?

Doing it isn’t what’s getting you hate. Doing it while also acting like you’re sooo chill and everyone else is a weirdo for caring about hygiene is what is.

I’m thinking of having mine shower when she comes home after school.

This is not black-and-white. Many are sending their kids even though we know there is potential for transmission. Some of us have not been in pods, not doing other things in person so this will be one of the first things we are doing. We feel it is worth the risk. But we know it is not there is not zero risk. There is nothing wrong with finding best practices during a pandemic for goodness sakes.

Brush teeth at night. Take shower before school probably.

With all due respect if you’re still washing groceries and worrying about kids bringing it home in their hair and clothes, in person isn’t going to be for you. Nothing your kids do when they get home except maybe wash their hands will mitigate the risk of them being exposed to an AIRBORNE respiratory virus.

I do this. When I get home from the office (we’ll, when I went into an office), I change into my “comfies” as soon as I get home. Just me though, not my kids.
