Which do you hate more?

When your child is vomiting, or has a high fever? DD got sick yesterday halfway through her 5th birthday party and proceeded to puke off and on for the next 8 hours. Poor kid. It was awful and I was up all night with her, so I had time to debate with myself which is worse- dealing with vomiting all night or up at night with a kid running a high fever. Around 3:30am I decided while puke is awful, high fevers scare me more and are my pick for the worst.

Fevers definitely freak me out more.

My son barfs a lot.  Fevers are scarier to me.

I hate puke and usually end up puking myself.  We have been really lucky and most fevers go down quickly with tylenol so I have to say fevers.

Puking.  That's terrible that your LO got sick at her party! Poor baby.

I haven't yet experienced a really pukey babe so fevers scare me more.

Fevers scare me and freak me out more...puke no big deal to me.

The high fever would scare me more. However, at the ages of 1 & 3, my DD's do not know how to project their vomit into a trashcan or toilet so it will end up on themselves. It's not fun to clean up.

I hate the puke. It makes my anxiety level sky rocket, and I basically stare at her, just waiting for the next barf to come.

 

me too. rather have the fever.

A fever I can help regulate with meds. Vom means I have to clean more. I don't like cleaning or smelling like vom.

I hate puke and I feel pretty confident when it comes to dealing with fevers. So I'd prefer a baby with a fever.

Fevers scare me.

DS hasn't done a whole lot of vomiting either (knock on wood), so that may factor into my decision. But fevers are still scary.
