Every time I leave the house i have to make sure the gas stove is off and all the dials are lined up. Today I came home and there was a strong smell of gas and one of the dials was not off-- my husband had bumped it accidentally and left the room.

For the past few hours i haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I am overly careful, obsessively so, but my husband is not and i have no control over that. I can't stop imagining my family dying of the fumes or an explosion. What if it got bumped and left on all day?

I think I may need to switch the gas stove to an electric stove. It's probably expensive though.

Anyone know what the objective danger is of a stove left on for some period of time? Am i right to freak out or is my anxiety blowing it out of proportion?
