Today, my son's teacher told me that I should take my son to the doctor, because he has been complaining of bad headaches. They ran some tests, and then removed a peanut that's apparently been lodged in his nose for months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband took our 5-month-old to the doctor, who diagnosed him with a severe sinus blockage and referred us to a specialist. This is the third major health problem with our son that our husband has picked up before I did. My job? I’m a nurse in a paediatric clinic. FML
Today, I took my 2-year-old son to the ear doctor, since he'd stopped responding whenever I call him. The doctor told me that his ears are just fine. He's just ignoring me. FML
Today, I got a call from my son's school. He was in the nurse office puking. I picked him up and the dumbass said he'd eaten one of those stupid "WORLD'S HOTTEST SNACK" things and it made him sick. Idiot. No sympathy whatsoever from me. FML
Today, I went through the nightmare of having to go to my doctor so he could remove a living spider from my nasal cavity. 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, my parents brought me to the doctor because I was "faking" a headache. One thing led to another, and it turns out I have a tumor pressing against my spine. FML
Today, I found out that, when mad at us, my son picks the tops off his shoulder-pimples and sprinkles them in our food. FML
Today, I found out my son kept quiet about having head lice for a week. He's 14. FML
Today, I learned how hard it is to remove peanut butter from your own eye. FML
Today, I picked my son up from school, and asked how his day went. He told me how his friend explained to him that his mommy snorts sugar with his uncle, and if he could try what his friend's mom calls "Booger sugar" when we got home. FML

How old is this son? Always include an age--I was picturing him as 12 or so until the last line when I realized this is probably preschool. And why was the teacher the first to notice that he had been complaining for months about headaches?

So your son won the "who can shove a peanut the farthest up their nose" game?

This FML is poorly worded making it hard, nay impossible, to determine how to vote. Another round of meh for the public school system. Some of you repliers are really jumping to mis-conclusions (yea, I call em as I see em). Did the kid get headaches at home? For months? If so, then bad parenting. Wouldn't an eye-exam be the first step for headaches in school?? OK, the OP only gets 300 characters (which is a bitch). How would anyone but the kid know the nut was up there for 'months'?!? It's really on the kid for not telling his parents, or the Dr.

Yeah, except how many three-year-olds have you met who would say, "Hey mom, I just shoved a peanut up my nose! Can we go to the doctor and get it out?" It's actually a common thing for kids to do. When I was four or five, I was having bad headaches and the first thing they did was X-ray my sinuses to see if I shoved something up there. Fortunately, I hadn't.

I hope this kid is under the age of eight or so. I don't think it's the mothers' fault. If he did it at school, she wouldn't know, unless she pokes through his nose with a flashlight every day.

I agree sometimes kids don't day things to their parents. My son had swimmers ear for over a week but he didn't tell me his ear was hurting. His logic I wouldn't let him go to the pool if he told me his ear was hurting.

You forgot to mention it was his Special Ed teacher. Clearly your son is retarded.

Your life IS ****** because your child is a total ******* idiot. He does that in the first place, then doesn't say anything for MONTHS?! THEN doesn't even tell YOU, but tells his teacher? I feel bad for you..

If you didnt know about the peanut...how would you know its been up there for "months" The only possible way is that your child told you it has, in which case you have some serious communication problems prior to this. PAY ATTENTION to your children...kids do stupid stuff, its your job as a parent to make sure they dont. Be an adult.
