Today, my sister asked me to help her set up for my niece's birthday party. Being the lazy person that I am, I got my niece to blow up the non-helium balloons. Apparently she's allergic to latex and I'll be the one paying for the hospital bill. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML
Today, is my little sister's 16th birthday. I spent my last $20 on a gift for her, cleaned the house for her party, made an ice cream cake, and got her a rose. What did I get? "I hope you kept the receipt for this. Oh, and stay in your room during my party." FML
Today, it was my mother's birthday. My 5 year old brother and 85 year old grandma decided to decorate the house with balloons and a blow up "people" they found in my room. FML
Today, my sister was meant to come over for lunch for my birthday. Turns out, she forgot about it. FML
Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML
Today, I agreed to help out with my boyfriend's sister's baby shower. They forgot to inform me that "helping" meant splitting the cost of everything. I now owe his family $275. I don't know how to back out without looking cheap. FML
Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML
Today, I pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML
Today, my sister is dressing up as a nerd for Halloween. She's using my clothes for the costume. FML
Today, my sister asked me to grab her some toilet paper. I refused, so she grabbed my favorite shirt out of the laundry basket and used it to wipe. I was busy icing my sprained ankle. I couldn't walk. She knew this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I voted YDI, but I think I may have been a bit hasty. Who's to say that the allergy was well known? I mean, I know parents today, and if their child is allergic to something, they don't keep it in the house. I think if they knew she was allergic to latex the wouldn't get latex non-helium balloons. If they knew about it and still got them, they should be the ones paying the hospital bill, because it's their own damn fault there were latex balloons in the first place. Chances are they didn't know, and what a way to find you. At least she's okay, right?

Hey konnie, shut the **** up, okay? It's not the guys fault that she was allergic to latex. Plus she probably likes blowing up balloons as all little kids do.

How can anyone say you deserved it ? How would you know that she was allergic to latex ? And #53? You go, girl!

Yeah, you definitely deserved that. I mean, the nerve of you, offering to help your sister and then complaining that you have to pay a hospital bill. I'm sure you knew she was allergic too and just wanted to make her have a reaction. And I'm sure your sister knew she was allergic too and decided that it would still be a brilliant idea to buy latex balloons. That was all sarcasm, by the way. That sucks that you tried to help and ended up paying the hospital bill. If you knew, then I could see her making you pay, but I still don't see why someone would buy latex balloons if their daughter is allergic. My cousin's allergic to peanuts, and my aunt doesn't keep peanut products in the house. I think it's more her parents' fault if they knew, and if nobody knew then you didn't know she'd have an allergic reaction. Really, I can't see how you're more at fault than the parents, especially since you were helping them set up for a party that had nothing to do with you.

#33, you're a moron. I have a latex allergy and Trojan does in fact make a latex free condom (I believe its actually polyurethane) but they're expensive (like $9 for 3 of them). Also, there's this thing called the pill if you're sleeping with someone that you are in an established relationship with. Duh! I dislike children and never plan on having them. No, I am not celibate.
