Today, I came home from living in Spain for 2 years. My mom made dinner for me, and she had forgotten about my allergy to citrus, because she made lemon chicken. After using my EpiPen, and calling 911 for myself, I heard my mom say to my dad, "She always did have to be the center of attention." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
Today, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, my dad decided to take his medicine before eating. He passed out with his face in a plate of chocolate cake. He wasn't responsive so I called the paramedics. When he got to the hospital, the doctor asked him if he knew why he was there. He replied, "Because my stupid daughter overreacted." FML
Today, my mom argued with me that I should have went to an emergency room a further 18 minutes away from me, during a near fatal allergic reaction, so I would've received "better care." FML
Today, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML
Today, I had a mild allergic reaction from eating pasta salad. I told my mom that I might be allergic to the parsley, since it was the only ingredient that I don't eat often. She made me eat a sprig of it to "make sure." Now my face is covered in hives. FML
Today, while working at a children's day camp, one of the kids who is allergic to peanuts went into anaphylactic shock. I ran and grabbed the boy's Epipen. I was holding it backwards so the injection went into my hand, causing me to pass out, and both of us to be rushed to hospital. FML
Today, after a year of staying at home, I finally went out. I had a panic attack and couldn't breathe, so my mum decided to scream at me and slap me so I'd become "normal". FML
Today, I was talking to my parents when all of a sudden my dad started freaking out and asking my mom how I got this really bad allergy on my face. My mom just laughed, and then I had to explain to him that it was just my acne. The worst part is that he was dead serious the whole time. FML
Today, while making dinner I cut my finger badly with a knife. When I yelled for my dad to drive me to the hospital, he accused me of lying to get attention. He had to taste my blood before he decided it wasn't red-colored corn syrup. FML

People tend to forget my allergies to melon and coconut and always offer me delicious treats with those ingrediants(sp?). Never had to use an Epi on myself, though. But FYL, I know how you feel. Also, 4th.

ingredients* and coconuts? seriously? You are missing out on some great stuff.
xHaniffax 0
You are so stupid, nobody eats the coconut shell which is hard, hairy and inedible. I hope you're not talking about the shell. you eat the jelly and drink the coconut water INSIDE which is wonderfully refreshing.

Don't they use a part of the coconut in no-bake cookies?

Uh I'm pretty sure that person is talking about, like for example, a coconut cake that's covered in coconut shredding or whatever and IS like eating hair. Coconut is gross in general, though. OP: how did you not know it was lemon? I can't stand lemon pepper and I knew right away when my grandma used it on dinner when I was a kid. :/

I'm allergic to citrus and coconut as well. My mom sometimes forgets about my citrus allergy, but she would never be that careless. Also, my allergy isn't bad enough to where I need an epipen. I just throw up and cough a lot. Anyhoodles, that's just horrible. I'm sorry. Some people shouldn't have children.

What is with so many careless parents that think this kind of stuff is just drama or attention seeking? What a stupid bitch.

I think a lotta kids on here overdramatise stories that happen with their folks to get on this site in the first place....or maybe some parents ARE that heartless, who knows? God?

I don't think this is a kid, they have been away for two years. "Kids" do not go away for two years. Adults go away, you may spend a semester of college away in Europe but you don't just let your child not matter what age go to another country for two years unless they live with family, I think this was a young adult. Also this does happen to people in real life, ask any nurse or ER staff member, people have accidents with their allergies and sometimes it can be very dangerous.
