I have been bombarded with phone calls tonight…(and no Jet, not only from you)
\nit seems that the EX, in his infinite ‘child rearing’ wisdom, has decided I don’t know what the FUCK I’m doing.
\nnow mind you, until the last 2 years I was the ONLY one that took care of the children when they were sick, often times being sick myself while doing so, but does he remember this? oh hell no!
\nfor some reason he now seems to think that he’s the ‘be all, end all’ of illness in children.
\nLet’s start from the beginning shall we?
\nMy youngest started running a fever Sunday, while he had them out of town, now mind you they still went to work with him (outside, I might add) but this was a low grade fever that my middle one had had the week before, it has no other symptoms and it didn’t really slow them down that much for that long!
\nso we come to last night, he decided he wants to stay with mama, not a problem, so I go get him, he said he had just given him some medicine and that his fever had been about 101.3 (or thereabouts)
\nso last night, his fever breaks, I get 2 phone calls this morning asking how he is etc…he’s fine! eating like a horse and cool as a cucumber…
\nwe run a few errands today, the whole time we’re gone I make sure to keep an eye on him, asking him how he’s feeling etc, he keeps telling me he feels good.
\nwe pick up his brothers and cousins from school and RIGHT BEFORE I we did that I felt of his head, still cool, we take the kids over to his dad’s house and he said he wants to stay there and play with them…not a problem
\nBTW, he still has not had any medicine, or NEEDED any medicine all day.
\nI get a call, about 20 min after getting home, saying his fever is 100.7<\/a> and when was the last time I gave him anything?
\nWHAT???
\nso now, my phone has been ringing off the hook tonight because according to him “if he had been checked today, I’m sure he would have been given medicine”
\nso obviously insinuating that I did\/do not take proper care of my kids? and that I’m not concerned (yes he actually asked me that!)
\nIf I thought I had reason to be concerned, I would be…however I “know” I taught him better than this, and that there is nothing seriously wrong, it just needs to run its course, and he needs to get over<\/b> the fact that we are NOT married anymore and I’m NOT going to come running to his aid anytime he wants me to…
\nBe careful what you wish for Jr. your getting a small taste of it now, enjoy it while it lasts *weg*
\nI leave you with this…
\nFever in Children…A Blessing in Disguise<\/a>
\nand this excerpt, the rest can be read at the site…
\nChildren often tolerate fevers quite well, although high temperatures may cause parents a great deal of concern. Still, it’s best to be guided more by how your child acts than by any particular temperature. If your child has a fever but is responsive, drinking plenty of fluids and wants to play, there’s probably no cause for alarm<\/b>.
\nCall your doctor if your child is listless or irritable, vomits or has a severe headache or stomachache. But don’t treat low-grade fevers (generally an oral temperature between 99 F and 101 F) with any medications unless advised by your doctor. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
