Today, I found out my babysitter has been selling the breastmilk I produce for my baby and replacing it with formula, while still taking my money every week. FML

Today, I found out my mom put breast milk in my cereal until I was 7 years old. FML
Today, I was called a horrible excuse for a mother just for buying formula for my baby. I just don’t produce any milk of my own. FML
Today, I found out that when my room-mate agreed to babysit someone's two year old kid for money, what he really planned on doing was dumping it with me. The kid won't stop crying and screaming. FML
Today, I caught my pregnant wife trying to suck milk from her breasts. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my 12-year-old daughter because my ex-wife thought she could cure our daughter's lactose intolerance by sneaking milk into her soy breakfast. The milk had expired. FML
Today, I got screamed at by a woman at work for feeding her 3-week-old infant formula instead of the bottled Kool-Aid that she packed. FML
Today I left my 8-week-old with my brother so I could return to work. His wife took all the breast milk I'd packed out of the fridge and poured it out. According to her, it was “gross” and she didn’t want it near her food. My son is allergic to formula. FML
Today, I found out that while my mother-in-law claimed to be babysitting my son, she was actually dropping him off at an unlicensed “day care” in a shady part of town so she could go out. How did I find out? The house was raided by police. FML
Today, I called my usual babysitter, one of the few people who can handle my difficult kids, to ask her to watch them for a night next week. She refused. It turns out my wife has been repeatedly underpaying her and she's fed up with it. So long date nights, I guess. FML
Today, I found out that my partner intentionally acts like she sleeps through our baby's cries in the middle of the night, just to force me to do all the late night feeds and diaper changes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Report her! Not only is she stealing but she's not giving the baby what its own mother thought it was receiving!!! Oh this is outrageous!

The next thing you know, the baby will be replaced with a doll and Junior will be "adopted" to Timbuktu

Is anyone thinking about the baby? That's false advertising. In 18 years you may have a lawsuit on your hands.

If the babysitter is hot, tell her you know a guy!

Honestly it's not that big of a deal formula is still great for babies she isn't depriving the kid of anything. I say fire her and be done with it.

Not that big a deal, 86? How on earth is this not that big a deal? Without anything further, the bare fact that the babysitter is STEALING is big enough that the babysitter should be ARRESTED and prosecuted. So what if formula has similar nutrients to breast milk? Breast milk can still be healthier and there could be so many complications from the random switch to formula. Essentially the babysitter was still stealing not only from the parents, but the child in question. Then add the fact that there is money being made on the side which is now owed to the parents because of this theft. I am utterly appalled that this has been going on. These parents won't trust another babysitter because they've been betrayed by a caregiver of sorts. This is a very big deal, 86, huge.

I cant quit for OP to post a response, I wanna know how she found out

I hope you reported her and fired her!

You'd notice a switch pretty quickly imo. Baby's poop would change colour, consistency. For some babies, switching from breast to formula actually causes them to become constipated.

call the cops, sue her, something. if I found out about that I'd try to get her jailed.

I would be LIVID. So sorry, OP. I hope you're still able to nurse/pump smoothly despite the introduction to formula (I know it can affect baby's willingness to nurse sometimes).
