Allergies and Kids: Epipen time!

Epipen time!

By Anonymous - 17/08/2010 17:06 - Canada

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 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

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 boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML

Today, after repeatedly telling my partner's family that our daughter is allergic to peanuts, his grandfather decided to feed her one, to "see if she really is allergic." FML

Today, I decided it would be funny to give my friend a peanut that had fallen on the floor. I hid it in his food, and started laughing when he ate it. It turns out he is allergic to peanuts. His family hates me now. FML

Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML

Today, I had to go to the ER because of a terrible allergic reaction I had to the cookies my "friend" made for me. She assured me several times that there were no nuts in them. Turns out, she put nuts in them on purpose, to see whether or not I was really allergic. FML

Today, I was babysitting. Everything was going well until the kid called 911 on me for making him eat his vegetables. 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 cooked for the future in-laws and was accused of trying to poison them. Absolutely no one told me, even as they watched me cook shrimp and smoked sausage gumbo, that my mother-in-law is deathly allergic to shellfish and my father-in-law gets severe diarrhoea when he eats pork. FML

I think it's dumb that the aunt didn't tell her the foods the kid is allergic to. :/

Not your fault. Your aunt should have told you what he WAS allergic to, or it could have been his first time reacting to it. He also should have been taught that pretending to be allergic to food he doesn't like is stupid, because nobody will believe you if you're telling the truth.

YDI for babysitting. YDI for having an aunt. YDI for having a cousin. YDI for being a terrible cook. Stick to sammiches. YDI for trying to feed a little brat.

what's being a terrible cook gotta do with anything? he/she could be an awesome cool but the kid is a little ****** and was actually a allergic so the reaction cause his mom to say "R.I.P. Bob, may u burn in hell bitch."

Not your fault then really, more his mums. But maybe you should have called and checked first... but then maybe she should have told you what he was actually allergic to.. but then she may not of known he was allergic to that food... hmmm

it's really hard to fake allergies when you're in your own house. then your parents will try to slip stuff into yummy food. outside the house is easy when no one is monitoring you. I know these things since I'm allergic to eggs, nuts, mango, and high doses of soy, plus people trying to "prove" I'm faking my allergies by eating peanuts around me
