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 had an allergic reaction to a medicine the first time I took it. Maybe food is different?

YDI....it was dumb of both you and your boss not to go over something as basic and important as food allergies... youre not TOTALLY to blame, but still...not very responsible

Oh and if the babysitter asked why (because little kids with allergies know that whatever their allergic to was bad) the kid probably would have told you. Means you are not a considerate person of others to ask why. Evolutionary fail. btw this happened to me once as a kid with chips that the babysitter brought over. She spilt some into my butterless popcorn and I ate a crumb and had to go to the hospital. I had told her before that I was allergic and I told my parents it was my fault because she was a cool babysitter and I didn't want her to be upset because she was like freaking out and stuff. my 2 cents

I see the scenario playing out this way: OP: "Here, kids. Have some chocolate!" Other Kid(s): "YAY!" *happily munch away* Youngest (sad): I don't like chocolate. OP (feels guilty for having nothing else to offer): "Are you sure? Have you tried it?" Youngest: "No." OP: "Well, here. Maybe you'll like it." Youngest: *gasp cough gasp* Then the sirens come in: WEEOOH WEEOOH...

Your boss is an asshole for not informing you his/her child had allergies, and you are an asshole for not asking if there were any medical problems you should be aware of when babysitting your boss' chil!

"I had an allergic reaction to a medicine the first time I took it. Maybe food is different?" I'm not a doctor, so don't take what I say as fact, only my opinion. But I do believe it's difference with medicine, because the first time I was prescribed an Albuterol inhaler, my doctor put me on a nebulizer (sp?) first to see how I would react, and my throat swelled up and I had to get immediate care. No serious damage was done, but because of that, the doc determined I couldn't use the Albuterol. So instead, along with the Amoxicilin, I got Tussionex to calm the cough. Tuissonex = the best! But I digress...

FYL for not being told he was allergic, but YDI for for giving him some if he said he didn't like it. No one's fault, all-in-all.

FYL the boss should have told you his kid had allergies.
