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?

Why would there even be latex at the party if she was allergic?

Um.. shouldn't her parents have payed? Usually a person who's allergic to latex can't even be in the same room with it.. It shouldn't have been there in the first place. FYL definitely

If she is old enough to blow up balloons and didn't mention her allergy then it's on her.

That's pretty ******. You would think her mom would have told you about that or stopped you. Instead she stood by and let it happen and made you pay for it

#9 and others~ My grandma did not know she was allergiac to latex till late in her life.. so maybe the parents and maybe that child did not know just because you are not around latex every day of your life.. It is not just something you know.. you have to have a reaction to find out.. Dude.. really.. at her own party.. bummer for her.. YDI...

Just wondering, but like with #21, 26, you made her blow up her own balloons on her birthday? isn't that a little mean? plus with all the people saying you should know what your allergic to, I'm 14 and I don't know what I'm allergic to, and I know I'm allergic to something, its in my records. (you might think that's a FML, but to me not really) Its not really your fault though, since you didn't know she was allergic, but couldn't you have just done it yourself, and #9 I agree with you but like it was sort of his fault for getting his niece to blow up the balloons, getting her sick, when he could of done it himself, so really its sort of his fault, and should pay, at least like half maybe.

That's what you get for being a lazy bitch and making the girl blow up balloons on her own birthday.

Not at all your fault.. and legally you don't have to pay for the bills.
