Today, one of my three-year-old twin daughters asked, "Dad, can we get a cat?" I replied in a gentle dad voice, "No, honey, dad is allergic to cats. That means they make him sneeze and sniffle. So we can't get a cat. Sorry." After a slight pause, the other asked, "When you die can we get a cat?" FML

Today, my mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. FML

Today, I told my wife if she wanted to get a divorce, she just had to get a cat since I'm deathly allergic. She got two. FML

Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML

Today, my boyfriend woke up wheezing terribly, aching, and sneezing. He's allergic to cats. I have 2 and they are my babies. He gave me an ultimatum, him or the cats. I haven't figured out how I'm going to tell him that I choose the cats. FML

Today, I was at the doctor's getting a check up. He asked me if I was allergic to anything, to which I blurted out, "Cats." He gave me a weird look and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you cats." FML

Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML

Today, after being diagnosed with cat allergies, I explained to my cat-loving boyfriend that the doctor strongly recommended not allowing the cat in the bedroom. At 1:30 a.m. my boyfriend got out of the bed to go sleep in the spare room because, "the cat is sad." FML

Today, my four-year-old asked me when I was going to die. I replied "Not for a long time, why?" He looked at me and stated "Because I only want to live with Daddy." FML

Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML

#12, how is he a horrible father? I remember moderating this. She's young and doesn't know any better though (:

Allergy shots and medication don't always get it. They can wait 15 years to get out on their own and be the neighborhood crazy cat ladies. It won't kill them.

Today I was having sex for the first time but couldn't get it up. She then proceeded to take a dump on my face when I was asleep. FML

Do you seriously think that this is the place to post FMLs? Are you honestly that stupid?

First and foremost, #35...just, no. Wrong text box. Secondly, #22...perhaps the OP can't afford DAILY allergy medication for the rest of his life? Or maybe he just doesn't want to take pills every day in order to be able to breathe in his own house? That being said, I think everyone is over-analyzing this situation (*cough cough* #11), saying things like "They're just kids!" and "Wow, don't take it seriously...get over it." Everyone just needs to chill out and accept the story for what it is. I'm sure the OP is not truly sadened by his daughters' comment, but just saw it as a funny and ironic story that other people would appreciate hearing- I know I did!

No FML here. I've heard similar things from kids. They don't want you to die, they just have cats on the brain at the moment. I'm more surprised that 3 years olds have such a good understanding of death.

I said something similar to my dad when i was 3-4. It's natural. that's cute!! Just laugh at it and don't take it seriously. My dad still brings it up as a joke and we all laugh. That's gonna be one of those funny memories that u'll share with them when they will grow up
