Hi. We've been sent an email asking for the kids to do a test before they go back to school, and to keep these up weekly. I have no idea if this is standard, I've distanced myself from the news as much as I can.
We've been lucky & none of us (myself & 2 children) have had Covid as far as I know... I was taking the tests weekly when schools went back last time & a few weeks back I did one on each of the kids as we were visiting family with somebody having cancer treatment.
My kids absolutely HATE the tests. They both cried, both asked me to stop, both said they never want to do another one, both have talked about it since saying they don't want any more.
I have said from the start that we might have to do more & that's just how it is.
But the thought of doing these weekly, is it just a case of suck it up & get on with it? How are other people managing?
