The likelihood of you getting it again is super duper low. If you did, it would probably be super mild, if symptomatic at all.
I’m in a similar boat having had it and being vaccinated. I’m now in the mindset of being cautious mostly because of the hassle having to shut everything in my family down for 2 weeks would bring. For instance, I would feel fine going to the football game tomorrow, not concerned about getting it myself at all. However, my kids are too young for the shot and if they get it, they’d be stuck at home for 2 weeks, meaning I would also be stuck at home for 2 weeks. I would have to take 2 weeks off work and we’d have to try to do some version of home-schooling that we aren’t equipped for.
I know they’re not at any significant health risk, but it’s not worth them potentially getting it because of the other fallout. Until the transmission rates locally chill out a bit, we’re staying low key.
How would you even know if you’re kids have it? Symptoms in kids are overwhelmingly equal to a common cold. At a level that mild, why test them?
Friend in PA had 7yo daughter sent home from school because of a cold. A runny nose! School forced covid test (with a copay) before return. Results took multiple days, a parent had to take multiple days off of work. Negative result days later meant kid could return to school. That response is utterly ridiculous.
Schools and day care centers are Petri dishes of germs. Kids will get sick! Parents will, too. So, what?
