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 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.

Yes that makes sense, as does taking off shoes. But having "home clothes" for kids versus their school/play clothes is not as common in this area. Perhaps its regional/cultural.

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

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.

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??

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.

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.

We also take off our shoes at the door. Is that odd to you? I know plenty of people who do this. What if you were a nurse or some other profession where you wore scrubs at work, would you come home and hang around the house in your scrubs? Same for kids. They wear their school clothes and then change into comfortable clothes when they get home. Some kids even have school uniforms; do you really think they wouldn’t come home and change out of a uniform?

Plus the clothes ARE cleaner because they haven’t been worn outside the house. It’s partially about comfort and partially about hygiene, but mostly about habit. I’m so surprised that you don’t know anyone else that does this.

You are reaching. Changing out of uniforms whether child or adults obviously makes sense. What are your childrens wearing that are so uncomfortable at school?
