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

wow your parents must have thought you were an idiot and couldn't learn portion control. Or they didn't want to even try to teach you shit. That sucks.

I've had a lot of chocolate in my life and I'm pretty thin...

Having a toddler myself, maybe your parents genuinely thought you were allergic when you were young. 99% of people confuse being allergic and being intolerant. Its not hard to over feed an intolerant child a certain item. If OP was intolerant to chocolate as a child and maybe had one or two chocolates, it would be a high dose at that age. You get the rash but none of the life endangering throat swelling stuff.. My son is intolerant to apples but can still eat them in moderation... If your parents didn't want you fat, they should have said you were allergic to red meat. Which cuts you out of eating burgers and steak lol

lol that's actually really smart...

You should be glad lol...being fat isn't all that great. I wish that my parents did that with me, when I was a baby I was skinny to the bone almost. The doctor told my parents to let me eat whatever I wanted because I was so skinny as a baby. Though I'm not allergic to chocolate, I don't eat it anyways. Don't know why, but (once again, I'm sure I'm not allergic), eating even a small to moderate amount of chocolate gets my stomach upset.

haha i can totaly relate to that exept my parrnts told me when i was 4 and i found out when i got drunk 8 years l8ter with chocolae all over my face

well...are you fat? cuz if not, then it worked! or it could be a combination of normal things like proper diet and exercise... I think it was the chocolate thing!

it doesn't really mean your going to get fat. it's called controlling your child, which obviously your parents were to lazy to do. i hate when lazy people have kids.
