Hi ladies! I just need to vent for a minute.

Our one year old has been home from daycare for the last two days with a fever. I just started a new job so my husband had to be the one to stay home with him.

I reminded him this morning to check his temp periodically throughout the day (and give Motrin when needed). I received a text around 8am saying his temp was 98.3 and all was good.

I got home from work around 4 and asked what his latest temp was. My husband looked at me confused and said, “I told you it was normal this morning and he’s been acting fine all day”. Uhhh okay...so I decided to check his temp when I changed him and it was 101.3!!!!! 😡 I let my husband know and he said it was BS and the thermometer must be broken. He was then just being crabby so I called him out on it and he told me he wouldn’t be crabby if I didn’t lecture him about taking our son’s temp when he was “totally fine”. UMMM REALLY?!?! 🙄

I’m probably totally overreacting but I was pretty livid at that point and haven’t spoken a word to him in about 5 hours. He, of course, is acting like nothing happened! 😳

**EDIT: I should say that I was mostly upset he hadn’t checked it again because, if he had spiked back up during the day, he could have given him some meds to help. Now we face the dilemma of our son having to stay home from daycare again tomorrow since the rule is 24 hours fever free.

**EDIT #2: Thanks for all of your feedback. Yes, I know I was definitely overreacting and that my son barely had/has a fever. Normally I am one for letting his body fight it off on its own, but I think the new job/not wanting to call in sick my first week made me more frazzled than usual. 🤪
