Hybrid routines once home

[Anonymous]

If you choose hybrid for your family, Have you thought about what your return home protocols each day wil be? (Eg Sanitation of shoes, book bag, devices, mask drop, change clothes?). Curious on what others are thinking.

Come home, wash your hands. Mask can go into the laundry.

That's about all.

What, you’re not supplying your kid with a hazmat suit and a hazmat shower when they get home?

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.

+1. That's what we've done with our preschooler since September.

My kids have been in person since June. The remove coats and shoes, drop dirty masks in the dirty mask basket, and wash hands. We don’t sanitize backpacks or devices.

This is what I think I will do.

I have one in K at a daycare already. I used to wash her backpack weekly and her lunch bag weekly which is more than I used to wash those things, but I’ve pretty much stopped that.

Wash hands and mask(s) used that day go in the laundry bag. I might wipe down the school laptop with a disinfecting wipe after the second in person day each week before using it at home. I will also send a personal bottle of hand sanitizer and wipes in the backpacks that they can use if the classroom runs out or if they prefer.

Remove shoes, wash hands, unpack back pack. Same thing as when he gets home from the pod. Same thing his sister does when she gets home from preschool.

I take masks to put into laundry.

Our plan as well. My husband has been working in a restaurant this whole time and that’s what he does as well. He usually changes clothes but it’s not immediate.

Wow you sure did jump to conclusions. Calm down? I was simply asking not insinuating anyone needs a hazmat suit.

Thank you to those who are respectfully responding.

This. Though we also do take shoes off in the house, unrelated to Covid. If there is enough Covid on their clothes and whatnot to infect me, they’ve surely been infected themselves and they’ve won infection is the way I’m going to get it.

I’ll be at work when my middle schooler gets home and I will pick up my child in elementary school on my way home.

They are wearing disposable masks and I want them to be immediately thrown out. Hands washed immediately. That’s about it. 50/50 the middle schooler does it on his own.

At first I planned on wiping everything down and changing clothes but realistically we won’t keep this up. I don’t work with Covid patients, I’m not in healthcare, and don’t change my clothes every day after work. I’ve found the disposable masks more manageable and breathable for me for wearing daily. Our family wears cloth masks for shorter times but not for all day.

Funny that you criticize OP while your family apparently needs to change into “house clothes” even when we are t in a pandemic. You sound like a total germaphobe.

We are in Loudoun so my youngest was in for about 6 weeks before in person ended in December. She just came home, took off her mask, washed hands. That’s it.
