Today, I'm quite ill. My new step-mother believes that the genetic wheat allergy I got from my mother would have gone away since she's now married to my father instead. Looks like dad picked a winner. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I found out that our daughter's chronic stomach aches are due to gluten intolerance, so we need to cut all wheat out of our diet. We're bakers. 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, I’m getting a very interesting demonstration of how genetics work: I have inherited all my dad’s health issues, plus those from my mom, plus a bunch of new ones that belong exclusively to me. FML
Today, I found out I have celiac disease. I also happen to be a baker and will be constantly reminded of all the wheat products I can no longer enjoy. FML
Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML
Today, my grandmother is shocked that literally all of her kids and grandkids have mental handicaps. She won't admit it's because her and my grandfather are first cousins, and is claiming instead it's, "because of gluten." FML
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, we live in a tiny trailer. My doctor said I have celiac disease. My dad, who takes things too literally, came back with gluten-free dog food. I don’t even have a dog. FML
Today, I missed going to my boyfriend's stepsister's wedding. I would have been meeting my boyfriend's mom for the first time; now she doesn't like me. She figured I could just "tough it out". I have a chronic health condition and haven't been able to eat or get out of bed. FML
Today, my Mom and I found out that we're allergic to the wood my Dad has been making fires with. She can't see, I can't breathe. FML

Just be thankful that she isn't your doctor.

Isn't that how genetics works? Your hair and eyes can change color too!

New stepparents...don't I know it. Aren't they fun?

She would like to remind you, yet again, that she isn't your mother.

Because a parent getting remarried automatically cures food allergies. O.o I feel bad for kids whose parents divorce and remarry assholes. You are stuck in that situation thru no fault f your own.

I can almost understand the parent's thought process of "Well my spouse is gone but I want my kids to have a full family." But when the parent just goes and marries whatever irresponsible, abusive, or just plain stupid person they happen to fall in "love" with, I would have to consider that extremely selfish and in some extreme cases borderline child endangerment.

This is what happens when dad marries the babysitter...

Sadly, there are stupid people everywhere who are not just babysitters. One can dream though, right?

Tis true. But when a man marries a complete moron you can only assume... All boobs no brains kinda thing.

16- Why, she didn't claim he got her pregnant, did she? Much less, from kissing? :p Edit: Reread Noor's profile. She did claim to be married to Ezio, it was a running joke. :P

Sounds like dad got himself a trophy wife.

Can't tell if she's trying to make you feel better or is that stupid.

What a dumb-ass step-mother... She probably thinks everything revolves around her too... I hate ignorant and arrogant people who think they're God's gift to the freaking world.

This step-mother needs to step into a library and review some basic genetics.

So you're saying that your stepmother ALSO has the wheat allergy gene? What are the odds?!
