To ask dp's son to do a LFT

Dd is having an operation next Saturday. This is a massively long awaited for operation which will make a real difference to her quality of life and it's been cancelled and moved a few times by the hospital. The hospital suggested that she quarantine for 10 days to 2 weeks to make sure she was Covid negative. She has to have a PCR test next Thursday.

We are all vaccinated and tbh have been fairly diligent about the Covid restrictions throughout the pandemic but we're not health anxious people in any way but we are rule followers if that makes sense!

Dp lives with us but only because he lost his job in Covid and was struggling to support himself. Without asking me, he invited his adult son to come and stay with us for 4 days. I came downstairs to find him sitting in the living room. I pulled dp aside and asked why he didn't mention it and he said it's only for a few days and he's going to be in and out seeing friends and going out anyway (we live in London and he's taking advantage of that).

I've told dp he should do a LFT. Dp is saying he does not want to ask him as it will make him feel unwelcome but I think it's just a sensible precaution. If dd couldn't have her operation this time because he brought covid into the house we would all be utterly devastated! I also think dp's son would understand (he's 23) as he knows about the operation and would appreciate the sensitivity.

I'm now thinking dp deliberately didn't tell me because he knew I would be pissed off. So AIBU asking him to do one if dp won't? Even worse he is a little bit sniffly and sneezing so he obviously has a touch of a cold already fgs.

I would be furious about this OP! She's meant to be quarantining!

Straight out of the Cocklodger Handbook

-have an urgent emergency requiring them to move in well before you were ready
-bringing in friends and family to outnumber you and override your decision making
