Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML

Today, I realized the only reason I was invited to go on vacation with my extended family was so I could babysit everyone's children while the adults go out and have fun. 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 had to quit my job. Why? Because I don't have a babysitter anymore. All I did was tell them I didn't want them mocking my baby when he cries. FML

Today, one of my teachers asked me to babysit their kids saturday night. She didn't forget that it was Prom night, she was going to chaperone it. My teacher assumed I wasn't invited to Prom... I wasn't. FML

Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML

Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML

How to invite someone without actually inviting them

By Anonymous - 03/08/2021 07:59 - Denmark - Copenhagen

Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML

Were they wrong op? If you didn't want to do it, I hope you didn't. I think that is all that mattered.

I'd make a party just for me before I did any baby sitting for those jerks.

Well maybe you should've just looted and made it sound life you were having a fun time doing something. But then again if you really don't mind you should've just gathered all the kids up from all the parents so you could've made a lot of money being alone. that's what I would've done

Response: Poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part and I charge triple for emergencies with payment in CASH up front with a five our minimum.

Exaftly. I don't get why they waited until the day of to find a babysitter. I always have a babysitter and a backup whenever I make plans.

I think the messed up part is that they didn't invite you to go out with them. At least you know where you stand with them. I agree with others that if I had accepted to babysit I would charge extra and they pay upfront.

I don`t care to go out, I was perfectly happy staying at home watching the NYC ball drop on TV.

Today, I, for some reason, was talking to my mom about money. I jokingly said that the reason we're short on cash is because of her internet porn addiction. She replied, with a straight face, "How did you know?" I'm still not sure if she's joking or not. FML
