Mom problems

mlebates · July 2014

So my 2 yr old dd was playing on the couch with my BBT monitor. NBD since she was just taking it out, and putting it back in the case. Or so I thought. Next thing I know I hear it beep; which it doesn't do unless it's actually taking a temp. I look over, and it's not in her mouth. She had pulled the front of her diaper over, and stuck it in her bum. She looked up at me, laughed, and said, "I have a fever". Now I have to figure out how to sanitize the dang thing.

You have a toddler and don't know how to sanitize things yet?

Typically sanitize and electronics are not synonymous in my house. Lol

Nope. Aside from toys being thrown everywhere she's pretty OCD about being clean, and keeping things clean. She isn't a fan of dirty things, or being dirty.

I would just go to Wal-Mart and buy a new one for $8.

Am I the only one that giggled that OP's screen name is Bates and the title of the thread is "mom problems"?

Yup I just snorted at your comment. Before I got married (Bates is my maiden name) I used to be a work comp adjuster, and I would always explain my last name as "Bates, as in the movie psycho, and no I'm not related to Norman." Lol

I'm the furthest thing from a germ phone and also hella cheap, and even I would spring for a new one before bothering to clean the old one.

Aww man, when I clicked on this thread I thought I'd get to bitch about my crazy mom some!

No mom problems here, but I did just bathe my dog who was covered in an unknown animal's diarrhea. I like to think of it as preparing me for motherhood.

My BBT was up my dogs butt when the vet needed to know if he had a fever along with his vomiting and diarrhea. I used alcohol, soap and water and that thing went back into my mouth.

How do you not think of your dog's asshole every time you take your temp?

Sorry but I would totally throw that one out and buy a new one

Clean it. Buy a new one. Doesn't matter. Your daughter is adorable.

No amount of cleaning will let you forget where it once was.....what a cherished memory that will be!

Having a toddler has desensitized me to a lot, but I'm still in the buy a new one camp. There are some things that no amount of soaking and scrubbing with erase
