Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was babysitting. The kids were thirsty, so I poured them both a cup of the green juice I'd found in a jug in their fridge. They downed it in a flash. It wasn't until later on after I'd poured myself a cup and taken a sip, I realized I had given them margarita mix. The kids are 4 and 2. FML
Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML
Today, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML
Today, I came home from work, only to find the babysitter passed out on the couch with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. At some point, it seems my son had taken the liberty of peeing on her while she slept. FML
Today, while babysitting, the oldest little girl who is 7 went through my purse. She pulled out a half empty bottle of lube. She asked what it was and I told her lotion. I went to the bathroom and when I came out, the bottle was empty and there were 4 kids covered in lube. Then their mom came home. FML
Today, while sleeping off my hangover, my niece asked me to get her a drink. I gave her a beer, I didn't notice it until it was gone. She is only 6 years old. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my son when he started to choke on his food. Panicked, I grabbed the closest drink I could reach and made him gulp it down. Only when I received tons of dirty looks from people at other tables did I realize I had given him beer. My son is 8. FML
Today, I was looking in the refrigerator for something to drink. I found a jug of lemonade with a piece of paper on it saying "Mom's Lemonade, Don't Drink!" I was really thirsty, so I ignored it and drank the whole jug. My mom is about to have a colonoscopy and had filled it with laxatives. FML
Today, I accidentally filled the lemonade machine with margarita mix that already had the tequila mixed in. It was served to three kids before anyone figured it out. FML
Today, I was packing my son's lunch and we'd ran out of water bottles. I asked my 16 year-old to run to the store. She didn't want to, but gave me one she had. After dropping my son off, my daughter frantically told me she'd made a mistake. I sent my second grader to school with a bottle of vodka. FML

That could actually be dangerous. You need to pay attention or find another line of work.

Next time you should ask the child what they usually drink and have then show you where that is.

My question is are you a teenager or an adult? That makes a huge difference to me in this case. If you're an adult you should be no where around children as a baby sitter. I'm actually thinking you're a teenager. In that case, less fault is on you and more goes to the parents to begin with. They should not have left alcohol where you could access it. Let alone the child. Also, you not being familiar with it and trying to cover it up says you're a teenager and you made a mistake. Tell the parents. They should have left you with everything needed to do your job. Food/Drink for the child should have been in place. Yes, water is an option too, but I can't understand why they didn't have juice. If you're a teen, you shouldn't have been exposed to it either. I'd honestly rather have a babysitter who makes an honest mistake like this than some who would have drunk the alcohol themselves while watching the child.

Why does everyone think that there should be juice??? Juice is high in sugar most of the time, and water is healthier for you as your body, you know, NEEDS it. Drinking milk or water is preferable in pretty much every situation health wise.

If you don't know what anything is, the last thing you should do is ingest it, much less give it to a kid! I hope the girl is okay... especially if she happened to be so out of it she was actually asleep/unconscious throughout that thorough mouth scrubbing. I also hope that the parents find out, learn to label their damn drinks, and learn not to hire dimwits as babysitters.

And there wasn't a sink anywhere in sight? You have GOT to be kidding. Tap water would have done!

Why couldn't the kid get their own drink if they were 9 years old?

Yeah sure she made a mistake but why had the parents not told her where the kids actual drinks were
