Weird parenting

By wow - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I learned that I'm not really allergic to chocolate. My parents made it up when I was a child because they didn't want me to get fat. FML

Oh noes! D: 20, now look what you've done! :/

Yeah, OP, FYL. It's a lazy-ass move that's easier for your parents than actually providing good, healthy food and instilling healthy habits in you from a young age. There are a ton of other things that could make you fat; their plan was flawed and douchebag-y.

FYI, I knew Santa wasn't real, the toothfairy doesn't exist and that there are no angels when I was 5. I'm glad I did because I grew up without any impractical expectations. . .it's OK love you'll live, I didn't have chocolate until I was 12! And this is not an FML, you should be grateful you didn't turn out fat!

yayaye no one mentioned the easter bunny.... at least the bunny who brings chocolate still exists ;)

exactly! omg a childhood w/o chocolate?! what was halloween like for you?! #poorthing

So what? Chocolate tastes like shi- No. I've never tasted shit so I can't and wont compare like a retard. Chocolate tastes really really bad anyway, I have no idea why some people are obsessed with it. YDI for thinking not eating chocolate is an FML. You totally need to go on MLIG and say: "My parents were awesome and didn't make me eat chocolate as a kid."

what type of chocolate have you been eating??? it's amazing, ever try a Godiva milk chocolate bar??

I'm not the type that turns away food for stupid reasons such as the look. I've tried plenty of chocolates and they all taste crap.

I heard chocolate is supposed to make you feel good but it has no effect on me.

Look at all the chocolate loving fatties above. I don't like chocolate that much. I am healthy and fit :D

Hahaha I love seeing how everyone reacts to something like this. It's not that big of a deal. I hate chocolate, and I'm fine. And personally, that's a good idea. I might try that >:]

You get to discover chocolate for the first time OP and you'll remember it... I'm jealous.

Liking chocolate does not mean you will be fat. I LOVE chocolate, I just have to use something called self control, and only eat it in moderation. FYL for having parents that were too lazy to teach you that.

If you're American #79 then I can fully understand why you think chocolate tastes disgusting. You really are sold short over there on that front. Try some belgium chocolate (or swiss) and just eat a tiny bit. Really smooth and delicious

Nice one! But one question... Are you fat? Or slightly overweight? If you are, you should thank them.

Well no, because if OP is overweight, all that says is that the parents had a stupid plan that didn't even work.

They were just looking out for you.

There's a difference between trying to guide your kids to eat healthfully and lying to them about allergies because your idea of body image is out of whack.

I would have had the nuts to still have tried it. wussy. ydi

Good parents would've committed to the lie. Find out what the kid is actually allergic to and put some in a batch. No allergies? Lace the candy with itching powder or hot sauce. Inject the kid with an EpiPen.

All for every idea but stabbing the kid with an EpiPen. Giving someone an EpiPen injection when they’re not having an allergic reaction can kill then. Might be a touch too far to prove a faux point.

that is one of the smartest parenting moves I have ever heard
