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?

You people are ******* retarded. He didn't shove it down the kids throat, he just suggested he try it. And if the parents didn't mention an allergy, then they probably didn't know. And if the parents didn't know how the **** is OP supposed to? And for you crying abuse, obviously you don't have kids, and gave never been around them. Get your collective heads out of your asses

Regardless, you shouldn't give unhealthy food to a kid who has never had it and doesn't want it.

jesus christ it's a bit of chocolate, not a deep fried hamburger. and generally, kids have no clue what is best for themselves, stop pretending they are little adults that can be reasoned with.

The point wasn't that the food was very unhealthy. The point was that the food just wasn't healthy. It's not like brocolli that kids really should eat and will resist . And when did I imply they knew what's best for themselves?

Chocolate isn't really that bad. In large amounts, yes, but it can be good for most people. Dark Chocolate for example can be considered healthy.

Not that you don't deserve it, but shouldn't the parents have said what the kids are allergic too? Its not your fault if you don't know. This is everyone's fault.

It's actually physically impossible to have an allergic reaction the first time you try a food. Your body has to develop the antibodies.

Hmm, I did. And I'm 100% positive I had never tried the thing before the time that I had an allergic reaction. Maybe it had something to do with before I was born, if my mom ate them while pregnant?

Bullshit. You can't be allergic until you've had it once. There is always a possibility that he had it once, forgot, and was fine and this time he developed the allergy so the OP might not have been at fault here.

Everyone who said YDI is a ******* idiot. How the **** would they have known if the kid was allergic or not?! EXACTLY, there was NO WAY of knowing unless someone told them, which I'm assuming didn't happen. DUH. **** some people are so dumb.

So maybe they have different reasons for saying YDI? That would be as irrelevant to my reasons as saying "that kid might've been black"

There is no reason why you would possibly say YDI here. End of story.

End of story? What kind of arguement is that? He deserved it for feeding a kid that isn't his an unhealthy food that they've never had before and don't want

A little bit of chocolate isn't that bad. If the parents didn't want their kids to have junk food, they'd tell the sitter. I have a cousin who won't let her kids have anything that other than organic foods but she makes sure she lets everyone know so they won't feed it to them.

I highly doubt he shoved it down the kid's throat. Get over yourself, its ******* CHOCOLATE. Unless the boss actually specified that his kid was allergic to it, there is no reason why the babysitter couldn't offer it. The kid wouldn't have eaten it if he really didn't want to. And its end of story because I don't see WHY someone would be arguing with this. Maybe its because you're a *******.

Kid: What are you eating? Babysitter: Chocolate... Kid: Hmm...I've never had any of that. Babysitter: Really? That's odd. You want to try it? Kid: Nahhh...I don't think so. Babysitter: It's really good. It's okay to try new things, you know? Kid: Okay...I guess. Point being... 1. There was no force in here people!!! 2. Kids have a natural aversion to things they've never tried. 3. He doesn't deserve it. He probably didn't even know about the allergy.

The OP said that they said "you should try new things and /should eat it/" Meaning, they intended to make the kid eat it Not that they're going to shove it down their throat, no, but you see what I mean... Normally, when an adult tells a child that they should do something, they'll either rebel or concede simply because they feel the adult is forcing them to do it. Take a trip down memory lane....

They didn't say the SHOULD eat it, they said it was good to try new things. The kid himself wouldn't have known he was allergic, the babysitter didn't know he was allergic, so therefore it is NO ONE'S FAULT.

"I told him he should always try new things and should eat it." - straight from the FML.
