Today, I found out that while my sister can somehow manage to keep an eye on and control her three preschool-aged children at the park, making sure nobody steals my dog from right beside her is just too big of a job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my sister and asked if she could watch my baby while I went to the store for desperately needed groceries and supplies. She refused, despite the fact that she's randomly dropped off her three rambunctious boys more times than I could count so she could go clubbing. FML
Today, I agreed to care for my girlfriend’s sister's dog. She assured us that the dog was housetrained, but when I got home from work at 07:00 AM my girlfriend was sleeping and there was not only one “accident” but five. This is going to be a fun weekend. FML
Today, I found the Facebook album my sister took with her kids by the pool and out on boats while back in our hometown. My problem? I'm our dad's carer since his stroke and she had planned the trip as a mission to help me take care of him, but due to her kids being "sick", she only visited briefly. Twice. In 5 weeks. FML
Today, I'm babysitting three children under the age of seven. They have no discipline, don't listen, scream all the time, won't nap, terrorize my dog, and have peed their pants a collective 5 times today. I am not getting paid for this. Their mother has no plans to come get them any time soon. FML
Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML
Today, despite the fact that I'm really sick, my mom insisted that I come home and help babysit my cousins this weekend. When I got there, everyone else took off to do "errands," leaving me with three hyperactive, howler monkey-like children to deal with. FML
Today, after an emergency, my sister’s kids had to spend the night at my house. While I was asleep, they absolutely trashed my place top to bottom. In the morning my sister came in, said, “Wow, what a mess! Bye!” without offering to help clean up or make her kids do it. They drew on my dog. FML
Today, I took my child to the park. Having been there an hour, another mum came up to me and we started talking. She then told me that one kid had been harassing her children, pointing to my child. When she asked which one was mine I pointed to a random kid. It was hers. FML
Today, I was told at my babysitting job that I can't bring my toddler with me. My employer is my best friend. Now I have to find a babysitter for my kid if I want to babysit hers. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

That's so sad for the dog, but I would struggle to look after all that at once....

You sent someone being responsible for THREE preschoolers off with an extra life-form to watch after?!? You are clueless.

Doggone it sis, you had one job!

Actually it was technically her 4th job. I think 3 kids are more important than a dog. Why didn't you have the dog yourself OP?

Dogsitting, duh!

18 maybe op had to go to the bathroom? Or had to run to the store for a minute? Or as suggested above, had a dog sitter. Point is, the sister was responsible for the dog. And if the kids were controlled, she has no excuse for letting the dog escape. Kids are a little more important, but dogs are like kids to some. If it was too much responsibility, she should have said no.

the dog did not escape, it was stolen It doesn't matter how well behaved the children are you still need to keep an eye on them, not out of concern they will run off but concern that some one will abduct them.

I might disagree and say my dog is more important. Lol

36 escaped, stolen, whatever. Point is if it was too much responsibility, she should have said no.

I feel this FML needs a followup. I'm confused on whether the dog was stolen or the sister just refused to watch the dog.

That sucks, OP. I have three dogs and it would kill me if someone stole one of them. I hope you get him back soon. I feel your pain, bro.

I'm sorry but although I am very sorry about the doggy I think the kids are a lot less self-sufficient
