Gross. We always wash our hands when we come into the house, even pre-Covid.

Right?!

I still know people that have had this, and have no idea how they got it. We have to be careful.

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.

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?

I don’t know anyone else who does this.

I've done it too. I was taught to do it because we weren't rich & couldn't afford messing up our "school clothes." I kept the habit into adulthood.

This can’t be serious.

We always did this, too! Do y'all not change out of your work clothes when you come home from work???

I totally get changing clothes when returning home. When I used to work in an office and wore suits or dresses, I would always change into more casual clothes (jeans, sweats.) My DH wears casual clothes to work - khaki's and polo shirts. Depending on the time of the year and what's going on once he gets home, he will often change clothes. In the summer - he definitely puts on shorts and t-shirts. Once my boys got to be pre-teens/teenagers and started caring about their appearance, they started wearing "dressier" clothes to school - collared shirts, khaki's, etc. So they would often change into gym shorts and t-shirts once they got home. It makes for alot of laundry, but who wants to be at home in dress clothes scrubbing toilets, walking the dog, doing dishes, and all the other household chores.

Eww. Even before they eat? We washed hands coming home from school even before Covid.

Of course we wash hands before we eat. I just dong feel the need to immediately wash them when we get home.

I’m going to have them wash hands and keep bags in the front hallway, not bringing them to their rooms. I would like to have them change immediately but I’m not sure if I’ll do that or not. I change out of work clothes when I come home but my kids dress so casually it’s not something they would typically do.
