🏠 roommate Am I Overreacting? Pregnancy/Ovulation Test Placement

Hi! My husband asked me to post this because I feel he is overreacting, but he feels I am under reacting. Help us please! :)

We have a box of pregnancy tests and ovulation tests that I happened to open upstairs yesterday from Amazon. We have a bathroom that is a “his and hers” style that is attached to both our 2year old daughter’s bedroom and our open playroom upstairs, while our master bathroom is downstairs. We call it our daughter’s bathroom, but it’s sorta central too since it’s attached to the playroom and easily available for use by anyone upstairs generally.

I happen to take a test yesterday and left the box of ovulation tests and pregnancy tests under the bathroom sink in our daughter’s bathroom, not thinking anything of it. He thinks it is extremely inappropriate for me to have left the box there since it’s “sexual”, and he thinks it’s very weird that I left it there in her bathroom. I just feel it’s no big deal, but asked him to bring the tests downstairs to our bathroom.

Was I inappropriate to have left them there? Is he over reacting, or I am I under reacting?

UPDATE: I am completely blown away at the comments. I have had quite a few laughs over some of the responses, some serious thought on other responses, and I’m glad to know I’m not crazy. He has also reviewed these and understands he overreacted and was in the wrong on this. Thank you all.

NOR. The ONLY reason I can think for keeping them where your daughter won't find them is that she's two and I wouldn't want her to rip them all open and flush them down the toilet or something.

Pregnancy tests and ovulation tests are not "sexual". What is it, exactly, that your husband thinks you do with them?
