Don't Freak Out!!!
Everyone knows that kids gets sick and when that happens it can be very stressful on the parents. One thing that Steven and I do because of the stress when Zack gets sick is let our tempers rise.We don't get mad at the kid but we get upset with each other. We both want to so badly do the right thing for our little guy that we have found ourselves getting a little short with each other. Looking back it's all actually pretty funny. I understand that all we want at the time for our little one is to be healthy and to the pain go away as quick as possible. But us being snippy is for sure not very productive.
So I was thinking that to fix this little quirk of ours we just need to CALM DOWN! Surprising concept isn't it? Things get more stressful if you're disagreeing on something so small as whether he should nap on the short or long couch. Yes we seriously bicker about these little things but that's marriage right? So just take a step back listen to your spouse because they might actually have a good idea to make the whole process a lot easier.
Another thing that I feel is a great tip for any and all parents out there is Have a Plan! What I mean by plan is sit down and decide what you would you do in this and that situation. For example: "If Zacks fever is 101 or higher give him motrin and schedule an appointment, if the fever doesn't break or gets higher go to the ER." Simple right? I know that sometimes things are new to parents but at least decide on the basics.
These things should help us in the future and hopefully you too. Just remember to always have patience and respect for what your partner has to say. This is their child too and they made have a secret remedy up their sleeve. You never know.
