I have NC for this as DSDs mum uses the site and I don't want her to recognise herself and find my other posts.
DSD came over at the weekend was coughing her head off! DSC's mum says it is just a cold but I am not sure how she can possibly know. She is off school today but her sibling has gone in, potentially spreading covid to her school year.
DSD's mum is adamant that DSD will not have a test which now means DP & I have to isolate for 2 bloody weeks rather than just until she gets the result (assuming it is negative), despite the fact that DSCs and their mum aren't! We have hardly any food in so we will need to get takeaways til we can get a delivery slot which will cost us a fortune. I will also have to avoid the gum for two weeks which I was just getting into a rhythm with after lockdown. Luckily I am able to work from home. I did keep my distance from her as much as possible but I think not self-isolating would be irresponsible.
DSD should not have moved between houses with her symptoms. DP tried to keep her here to avoid more movement but she wanted to go home as she felt rough and her mum insisted that she just had a cold so she went in end. We have since found out that her mum took her to a restaurant for dinner that evening.
I wouldn't mind if she had started coughing while she was here or even if she was getting a test so we know for sure. I just feel totally powerless and that DP and I are the only ones acting responsibly!
