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.

So, I realize this is an old post, but I feel like I have to say something anyway. I developed lactose intolerance later in life (around age 15) and have never vomited due to it. However, I DO have a nephew who is six who was born lactose intolerant. He pukes even with the smallest amount of milk. His body completely rejects it. And whoever said they're lactose intolerant and chocolate doesn't affect them, your life rocks because when I eat it all hell breaks loose. Even dark chocolate has dairy in it. So yes, you can puke from lactose intolerance. And yes, chocolate does affect a lot of people who can't digest lactose. And I don't think OP is a bad parent. That is all.

Why is everyone saying that she should have been watching her daughter? OP was in bed, her daughter should have been in bed.

Aww, poor girl, hope this doesn't happen again!

Anyone who has had children knows that they will find a way to get into things they're not supposed to, even if you have things locked up or hidden! It also amazed me how many people assumed she got into it at home
