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?

Don't most people help set up their own birthday parties (except surprise ones)? Totally FYL, how were you supposed to know?

So her daughters allergic to latex, her mom bought latex and has it all around the house, either she didn't know or she's a complete bitch, I wouldn't pay for the bill unless you deliberately did it, but thats just me.

Oh poor thing having to do anything remotely close to work on her birthday, especially blowing up balloons for her own birthday party that somebody else is paying for,I think she maybe mentally scarred after this. Really FYL, pretty sure even if your sister knew of the allergy she would of at least of mentioned it too you. Not to mention allergies can develop later in a person's life. #42 So your aunt knows every last detail about your medical history? My aunt wouldn't give a shit about the small ear infection I had as a kid, of course my mom did the responsible thing and told her about any allergies i had.

I definitely would NOT be paying for the hospital bill. I'd tell my sister to suck it.

Parents should have told you about the allergy before leaving you alone with the kid and a bag full of latex balloons. And on the off chance they didn't know about the allergy, it's still not your fault.

I don't really understand why you have to pay for it. Obviously no one knew she was allergic to latex - or if they did, they had very little insight to allow latex balloons at the party.

hahaha you were too lazy to blow up a few balloons and now you gotta pay for an expensive hospital bill. HAHA

obviously you didn't know she was allergic.. the mom should have said something or not even had balloons.. maybe she didn't know either? so its either the moms fault or no ones.. so you shouldn't have to pay

This sucks... For both of you. The parents shouldve informed you about the allegey even if you are the aunt. FYL indeed

You're not paying, get that idea out of your head now. You didn't buy the balloons, its not your fault.
