Miscellaneous: Today, my sister asked me to help her set up for my niece's birthday...

Today, my sister asked me to help her set up for my niece's birthday party. Being the lazy person that I am, I got my niece to blow up the non-helium balloons. Apparently she's allergic to latex and I'll be the one paying for the hospital bill. FML

Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML

Today, is my little sister's 16th birthday. I spent my last $20 on a gift for her, cleaned the house for her party, made an ice cream cake, and got her a rose. What did I get? "I hope you kept the receipt for this. Oh, and stay in your room during my party." FML

Today, it was my mother's birthday. My 5 year old brother and 85 year old grandma decided to decorate the house with balloons and a blow up "people" they found in my room. FML

Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML

The big con

Today, I agreed to help out with my boyfriend's sister's baby shower. They forgot to inform me that "helping" meant splitting the cost of everything. I now owe his family $275. I don't know how to back out without looking cheap. FML

Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML

Today, I pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML

Today, my sister asked me to grab her some toilet paper. I refused, so she grabbed my favorite shirt out of the laundry basket and used it to wipe. I was busy icing my sprained ankle. I couldn't walk. She knew this. FML

I voted YDI, but I think I may have been a bit hasty. Who's to say that the allergy was well known? I mean, I know parents today, and if their child is allergic to something, they don't keep it in the house. I think if they knew she was allergic to latex the wouldn't get latex non-helium balloons. If they knew about it and still got them, they should be the ones paying the hospital bill, because it's their own damn fault there were latex balloons in the first place. Chances are they didn't know, and what a way to find you. At least she's okay, right?

If she was allergic to latex, your sister should have known. A lot of times, people who are allergic to latex can't even be in the same room with balloons.

What are you, a tool? Either it's not your fault because S%(# Happens or it's not your fault because the kid should know not to mess with balloons. It's wrong of your sister to think you should pay the bill in the first place. Don't pay it.

My wife is allergic to latex and we NEVER keep latex in the house. This is a parent good up, not yours.

Known allergy or not, YDI! You shouldn't make the kid blow up her OWN balloons! Also, you should have used helium. You could have avoided it all by that. What's the point of balloons if they don't float? Next time, when YOU are asked to do something, how about YOU do it instead of recruiting children to do it for you!

Everyone who said it was the sister who should've known to tell her..it wouldn't actually be her fault since she was probably thinking, I have a lot to do so I'll just ask my sister to do the simple task of blowing air into a balloon. FYL for being so damn lazy that you had to make the birthday kid decorate for their own party. I would make my sister pay for the bill if she had done this to my daughter.
