Hi I just joined up to FML after this comment got posted (as it was mine) and i just wanted to verify some things. a) my daughter only ate chocolate because a kid at school gave her some, even though her teachers know that she cant have any dairy b) I do keep all of the dairy in our house hidden c) she only spewed at 3am because she has late reactions, eg, around 12 hours after she eats the dairy please stop saying how im a bad parent. accidents happen.

YDI for not keeping an eye on your child, and if she was not with you, not making sure the person watching her knew about her lactose intolerance. She is a kid, kids like sweets. You need to make sure she knows the rules. Kids throw up, get over it and just be a parent.
i can appreciate that kids get into everything, but my cousins are lactose intolerent and so i know its fairly easy to put stuff their not allowed in a place they can't reach it (or when they were younger and didnt know any better). also, should you not be taking your daughter to hospital?? you should be ******* grateful being sick is all shes doing.
Good job not being on the ball. Next time, lock her in there until she cleans it all up.
I don't get why people say YDI. Maybe some random friend shared her chocolate with her? 5 year olds dont realise stuff like Oh wait, maybe this girl is allergic for chocolate! What if it's a new friend? You never know. Nuts, maybe. But it's so easy to get chocolate. She could even have STOLEN some for gods sake, incase she was desperate for chocolate. And for people who say that the OP deserves it for putting her in a school which doesn't take care of the girl well, bullshit. They cant stalk the girl 24/7. Maybe it was in breaktime? Or after school, when she played with some other friends or even at their houses? You can hide chocolate inside your house, but you don't have influence on anything outside of that.
Shut up.
uhhhh my friend is lactose intolerant and gets sick when she eats too much milk chocolate. so obviously it is possible. nice try, though, not everyone on fml is lying

two things could have stopped this: the father could have pulled out, or you could have used birth control children are preventable. YDI
You're parents should have used birth control too, you were a kid once remember? Would that be helpful, if your parents used birth control :)?
monkeysricecold, the reason why is that the tv wasnt showing anything about this problem.
This sounds like BS to me. I am crazy lactose intolerant, and I've never thrown up as a result. To the one ignorant poster, an intolerance is not an allergy. You can't die from it. It only hurts. And causes some less than comfortable bowel movements. On top of that, the amount of lactose in even milk chocolate is minute that unless she ate a whole big chocolate bar, she shouldn't have had more than a stomach ache and some poop problems in a couple of hours. Either this story is made up, or your daughter has something more serious in terms of food allergies and intolerance. Idiot.
This post makes me so mad every time I see it. One of two things: 1) You are lying. 2) Your daughter is allergic to chocolate or something else she ate with it. I am lactose intolerant, and know many people who are, and none of us react to any kind of chocolate. If you are lactose intolerant and you eat chocolate then you will not have a reaction. If, however, you are severely allergic to chocolate, then you will have a reaction. Get your food disorders straight.

#1 and #2 clearly have no children. Parents can do their best and their children will still find ways around obstacles when they're determined to do so. The good news is that natural consequences of her actions will help this little girl think twice before dis-obeying the rule about eating an item with dairy in it in the future.
You idiots expect them to lock their kids away from all outside influences? 5 year old's do go to school, and they have friends that they occasionally associate with outside of their parents supervision. It's impossible for the parent to supervise every second of every day of the child's life. It's damned easy for a kid to find chocolate. Think back to when you were a kid, if your parents banned you from doing something, then you damn well found a way to do it. If you didn't then you sucked as a kid.
