To not follow Covid rules

[Ticklemycarpets]

My daughter's primary age year group has been sent home to isolate. They are in a huge bubble and the girl with Covid is in a different class.
AIBU to bubble up with a friend from her year (also in iso) so they can do their work together?

Would help my daughter's well-being and also allow me to get my work done.

Last September I would've thought you were being in reasonable, but having seen the effect many isolations have had on my daughters mental health I think what you are doing is entirely sensible

in reasonable / unreasonable !!

I'm with you there @Shieldingending
The effect from the Jan-March lockdown on my daughter was awful. We played by the rules until now but the trade off of risk (only to us two families) vs the gain of having another child to work with rather than sitting on her own all day while I work seems like a no-brainer.

YANBU. I won't be isolating DS if he gets sent home at this stage.

YANBU if both households involved are happy with the risk, including that of a second period of isolation if one of the children develops Covid, and as long as they both stay isolated from everyone else.

This. Neither household in contact with anyone else. And you are doubling the risk for both children. We’ve got some kids really struggling with covid and long covid right now, so don’t assume it will be harmless for them

But if you decide it’s a risk worth taking fine

I think that’s a fair thing to do

Yanbu. Your child's mental well-being is far more at risk than her physical well-being.

Yanbu, I would.

A word of caution here. My year 6 dd was isolating last week and her friend's mum suggested a similar solution to you. I decided against it. I'm very glad I made the decision I did because her friend's dad has now caught it. If we'd been bubbled up with them dd would have to be isolating now as she would have been in close contact with the friend's dad.

My ds is in a similar boat. He’s primary and isolating.

You don’t know how many other cases may pop up and whether your dd or her friend could be one of them.

This isn’t lockdown. It’s a ten day spell.

YANBU, my DC won’t be isolating if they’re told to between now and next month when the rules change.

If one of them tests positive then isolation starts all over again and more school is missed. We closed because of 1 case, now another 6 have tested positive but parents wouldn’t know because it doesn’t change the original isolating time.
