Gutted

Today, I was fired from the babysitting job I've had for 2 years. I thought maybe the mother had found out that I sometimes let her kids stay up late and have extra sweets. The real reason, as she told me, was that she didn't want her kids loving anyone more than they love her. FML

Today, I got fired from my childcare job of five years because the other staff weren't as popular with the kids, so they accused me of being "creepy" because the kids all wanted to play a game with me instead of them. FML

Today, I found out why the parents whose children I babysit use me so often and on such short notice. It's not because they have abrupt nights out; it's because their kids hate me, and me being around is their way of punishing them. FML

Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML

Today, a woman got out of a car to scream at me as I was walking with the kids I babysit, demanding to know where I was taking her children. Apparently the woman who pays me is also a babysitter, who I have been "covering" for on her party nights. The mother doesn't believe I didn't know this. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, the woman I babysat for blamed me for the cut on her son's face, and fired me with no pay for not looking after him properly. He already had the cut when I arrived. FML

Today, I was fired from my babysitting job because the baby’s first word was my name. Well, I’m sorry, but if you ask me to look after your child 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and by the time you pick them up they’re already asleep, of course they’re going to know my name better than yours. FML

well honey, the lady is probably very insecure about herself. (I'm guessing single). and i can relate to her though it scares me to death, at the possibility of when i have kids that they won't love me at all and/or love my mother or one of my aunts more than me. so i sempathise with both of you, maybe you should suggest a therapist for her?

You're kinda like the dude who was fired because he made everyone else look bad.

Sounds like the mom has some serious neurotic insecurities. Not that it's right of you to let kids stay up too late and give them lots of sweets, since you're supposed to be taking -care- of the children, not harming their health. Still, the reason she fired you was pretty ****** up...

this is so not an FML, she's just insecure or something... it should be just nice for you to know the kids liked you so much. the mom just has issues

Congratulations, you've discovered the secret of organized religion. Now go hit on the kids' dad and see if you can wedge yourself into her spot.

I got fired from a babysitting gig of 7 years because the little girl said that I was a real lady and she wanted to be my little girl instead of her mom's, because her mom is not a lady. (THe issue was that the mom wouldn't let the little girl wear dresses) Apparently, my wearing dresses infront of her daughter counteracted some sort of neo-feminist plot of the mother's
