When your kids have a fever, do you open your AC so that they will cool down?

For reference, outside temp around 70. Room temperature at 78. Thermostat set to 73.

No, I generally give Motrin if it’s severe or they want it

Also, I’m the only one allowed to touch the thermostat. Dad rules.

Yes! Your electric bill will be higher and you’ll be setting a bad example.

Kid will be fine though. Just try to make sure the AC vent is blowing directly on the kid

We are not living in the 1900s; we have meds now. Kids has a fever you give them meds to break the fever. On a separate note, if outside temp is lower than your desired in-house comfort temp and if you have a good cross circulation, then I’d open the windows to save $$

How is the inside temp so much higher? Open the windows

Unless your kid is super young, give them children's Tylenol. The AC sounds like a badly thought through solution.

With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
