Today, my 5 year old lactose intolerant daughter decided to have some chocolate. The result: me cleaning the bathroom walls at 3am, finishing at 4:30am, and then start cleaning again at 5am when her stomach contents decided I had missed a spot. FML

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.

#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.

I agree with your post, but it's not worth feeling feelings of anger towards someone so retarded.

In my household, everyone knows that "lactose-intolerant child who eats foods that make her sick" equals "bloody-lipped child with a face-full of her own puke."

maybe now you'll put your chocolate on top of the fridge eh?

Well, at least now your daughter probably won't eat things she's told not to anymore. Unfortunately, with lactose intolerance, food kind of becomes trial and error. I would suggest buying some of those pills that make them able to digest lactose. Not sure if they have them for children, but it's worth looking into.

how did she manage to get it on the walls?!

I agree that this is an FML for you, but it's also an FML for your daughter.

You're going to hate halloween lol

How does OP deserve this? The kid ate something she wasn't supposed to, and created a mess for her mother to clean up. If the mother knows her daughter is lactose intolerant, she isn't going to give her something she can't eat. Unless she's a terrible mother, which I don't think she is because if so, she would make her daughter clean up her own mess, caused by her own stubbornness. I don't get why so many people can say the OP deserves having to clean up that mess because her kid didn't listen...

it must of been severe. I'm lactose in tolerant, and never have had that problem.

I don't think that is lactose intolerance.
