My grandson is turning two next weekend and my daughter says we have to take a Covid test. Is there such a thing as a safe test that doesn’t do damage?

You naturally want to be there for your grandchild BUT, aside from pictures, how much of your 2nd (or 3rd or ANY) birthday parties do you remember? These events are mostly for the adults rather than the kids, AND, it seems like she's using this event to coerce you into bowing to her tyrannical, emotion-fueled, non-science-based will which can't be good for any of the parties involved.
An additional thought (not trying to be a doomer, but just sayin') -
If you don't have alternative legal arrangements like a living will, I'd worry more about her potentially being in the position to make or influence medical/life decisions for you that'd run counter to your wishes or weren't in your best interest such as committing you to a nursing home, okaying medical treatment [Remesdivr/ventilator], pulling the plug, etc., were you to become incapacitated than I would be about missing a birthday party or holiday.
Good point. I’m changing my living will.
