Today, I was babysitting my boss's kids. I brought chocolate for them and the youngest said he had never had chocolate and didn't want any. I told him he should always try new things and should eat it. He did. He's allergic. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my aunt asked me to babysit my cousin. She gave me a warning that he says he's allergic to foods to get out of eating them. When I brought out my homemade cooking, he told me he was allergic, so I made him eat it anyway. Turns out he WAS allergic. FML
Today, I was babysitting a 7 year-old girl and we were eating chocolate covered nuts. She kept on chewing the nuts and wondered where the chocolate was. I told her to taste the chocolate you suck on the nuts. Then her parents came home and the first thing she said was, "I learned how to suck nuts!" FML
Today, one of the kids I was babysitting had a severe peanut allergy, and he looked me dead in the eye as he ate a peanut bar before I could stop him. His sister swore up and down that I made him eat it. Guess who the parents believed, even after I rushed him to the hospital. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not actually allergic to chocolate, when my mom freely admitted to me that she made it up when I was a child because she didn't want to share any cookies with me. FML
Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML
Today, I made brownies for my co-workers. My boss called me into his office, and I though he was going to compliment me on the baking. Instead, he talked about how his 5-year-old daughter can make brownies better than me. FML
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML
Today, my two year old daughter was playing in the kitchen. I went to go have a look and she was pretend cooking. When I asked what she was making she said "look mommy, chocolate!" and stuck her finger in my mouth. It wasn't chocolate. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, only to find out I can no longer eat chocolate, my favorite food. When I got home, my boyfriend took the chocolate cake I'd been eating from the fridge, sat down in front of me, and ate the whole thing without breaking eye contact. FML
Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML

I call bullshit. Your boss didn't tell you his kid was allergic to chocolate?

I think regardless of the allergy you were kind of in the wrong if the kid had said he'd never had any ad didn't want any. A lot of parents like to keep their kids away from junk food when they're young so they don't get into bad eating habits. I used to get really annoyed when people thought it was cute to give my daughter lollies when she was little and still thought bananas and strawberries were desserts.

i feel like the boss might have known the kid was allergic, it's strange for a kid to have never had chocolate. in that case it's the boss's fault for not mentioning this important detail to the babysitter. the op was just trying to give the kid something he'd enjoy, i don't think it's her fault.

@SourPatchx3 oh come on, convincing a kid with words to eat some chocolate is abuse? really?? hitting a kid is abuse. neglecting a kid is abuse. persuading a kid to each chocolate is NOT even close to on the same level.

I think its pretty obvious that the boss wasn't aware of the allergy considering the child said they had never had any before. Besides, even if the boss aware, why would he just assume that the OP would give chocolate to his child?

if he were aware he should have told the babysitter regardless. a babysitter trying to win over kids by giving them chocolate is not uncommon. even if he was allergic to the rarest breed of tsetse fly the babysitter needs to be informed if the parents know. i don't think it's "obvious" the boss wasn't aware of the allergy, what if the kid had chocolate once when he was very little and didn't remember it? depending on how old the kid is, it's slightly unusual that the kid had never been exposed to chocolate before. OR, he could have been allergy tested, so his parents knew he was allergic and never gave him any. in that case refer to point 1.

YDI for not being told about the kid's allergy to choclate. You really abused that kid and it was totally your fault. OH WAIT

Whether or not the boss told the sitter is irrelevant. If the kid didn't want any, the OP shouldn't have forced the kid to have any.

a lot of parents, particularly nowadays, are trying to discourage their kids from eating nothing but sugar and candy. YDI for giving the boss's kid junk to eat.
