Allergies, Babysitter and Kids: Demon child

Demon child

By PeanutlyDisabled - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - France

Today, I was babysitting a new child. I guess she heard me tell her parents about my severe peanut allergy because she got a jar out of the pantry, spread it all over the stairs leading to where her fort was, and walked around with a baseball bat covered in it so I couldn't come near her. FML

Today, my mother stopped speaking to me because I won’t let her babysit anymore. Her idea of babysitting is to sit my daughter alone with a tablet and a pile of sugary junk food for 7 hours straight. FML

Today, I got a new babysitting job. Every time the little girl goes to the bathroom, she screams and cries until I wipe her. She's 7 years old. FML

SPIDERS!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while cleaning out my garage, I found a pregnant spider. I couldn't step on the spider without releasing the baby spiders, so I went inside to get a glass jar to trap it. While trying to relocate the spider, I accidentally stepped on it. I now have a bunch of baby spiders roaming around. FML

Today, I've been babysitting a 4 month-old for two days. This has made a great impression on my cat, because now I can't sit down without him jumping up and licking my face until I pat his butt and rock him like the baby. FML

Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML

Today, at my job as a lifeguard, I told a teenager to, "Walk please." He then threw his soda at me as he ran away. We aren't allowed off stand unless it's an emergency, so I baked in that soda for 30 minutes. FML

Today, as I was about to walk across the street, a girl in front of me who clearly wasn't paying attention to the traffic, almost got run over. I grabbed her arm and jumped back. She was fine. I fell and fractured my arm and wrist. FML

Today, my little brother told me to give him my phone so he could play a game on it. I said no, because I was taking a call from a friend at the time. He then walked over to the wall, headbutted it, burst into tears, then told my parents that I punched him. They believed him. FML

..And this is the reason my husband may interact with our child, but not actually TEACH her anything. He'd do this, I know he would. FYL, she's too smart.

Not only were you not watching as she took the peanut butter out, it took more than a couple seconds to spread it all over the stairs. YDI. Why would you need to tell the parents about YOUR peanut butter allergy anyway?

It's possible that the parents and the babysitter were discussing allergies. Maybe the child has one and allergies were just the topic of conversation. Also, its also a good idea to let the people you will be around knowif you have a severe allergy. What might have happened if the sitter got ahold of something that might have had traces of peanuts in it and she had a reaction, at least the parents know beforehand what is wrong. I have kids, my daughters 18 now but this is soooo something she would have done. Hell, its something she still would do. lol

Obviously they weren't discussing the kid's peanut allergy if the peanut butter is left within reach.

she didnt say they were discussing the child's peanut allergy, she said that they might of been discussing the fact the child had an allergy in general which quite obviously wasnt for peanuts

Maybe so that if the little girl wants a peanut butter sandwich, they know she can't have one? Or maybe because that way the parents won't pack peanut sandwiches for her? Either way, you failed.

How severe is this allergy? You were at risk of dying just from your face being over a metre away from open peanut butter, or the possibility of getting some on your skin? 'Cause if you were NOT at risk of dying, that's your cue to man up and take control of the situation like you should be.

It depends on the person. Some people will only have a reaction when eating it, but others have a peanut related allergy so serious that even breathing it in will cause a bad reaction. The OP did say that the allergy was severe, so maybe touching it would have led to some time in the hospital.
