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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just be thankful that she isn't your doctor.

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

Not sure what kind of guy is attracted to stupidity. I wish more people cared about brains than looks.

Like you never made a mistake so common before in your life, and compared that to someone who failed genetics forever. even more moronic. Yeah, you're a winner and so perfect.

65- Actually, it IS, in fact, "would have went away"... Please, for the love of God, make sure that you are correct before you go correcting somebody!

I heard some of the most sad shit last week. There was a mother telling her very young teenage daughter that, "It's not sex if he doesn't kiss you! So you're in the clear, sweetie!". I choked on my Dr. Pepper when I heard that bullshit! To know that parents are condoning that shit is ridiculous! And their logic behind it is astonishing! Talk about a loss of faith in the human race! :[

Where was this wheat allergy mumbo jumbo years ago? Where cavemen lactose/wheat intolerant? What a crock of shite!
THE_A_TEEN 28
I sense many things wrong with your comment.

Jup, cavemen were lactose intolerant. Anymore interesting historic facts to know?
Yarrachel 16
They certainly had those things, except that instead of taking medication or eating substitute food they would either die, not eat it, or suffer through it.

Many people are lactose intolerant because mammals aren't meant to drink milk as adult. Do any other animal do it? Cats, dogs and other usually get a little sick too when drinking milk, you know. Don't try to be smart when you clearly don't know anything :>

Sorry OP FYL. But on a brighter note, since your new step mommy dearest is a ditzy one, you can have A LOT of fun with her stupidity. Just thought I'd put that in there
