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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

I said YDI, but that's because... who the crap asks someone to blow up balloons for their own freakin' birthday party? Seriously?

YDI for being a lazy bum, but I don't understand why the parents bought balloons for the little girl's birthday when she's allergic to them. Wouldn't she still have a reaction when playing with them?

#139: They have gloves not made of latex for patients who are allergic. But I am not sure if they wear them all the time, or if it's only when a patient is allergic. #137: Probably someone who thinks kids need to learn nothing comes free and you have to work for it. Come on, it's just balloons, not a hard job, and kids usually enjoy blowing them. It's also a good way to teach the little girl that her awesome party with lots of decorations and stuff requires work. As a kid I've been to parties for which parents had spend $1000. Way to turn your child into a lazy spoiled brat if you ask me.

Most hospitals now use only vinyl or nitrite gloves because of a recent violent upswing in latex allergies. Kids with Latex allergies have to watch pretty much everything they touch. From the bandaids they use to the toys they play with.

YLIF because how were you supposed to know she was allergic? usually kids like blowing up balloons, so it's not like you were making her do unpleasant work or anything.

It's ridiculous!!! It's an FML BECAUSE there were freakin' latex balloons at the girl's party! It's her parents' job to make sure of that!
