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
Collection
College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I'm babysitting kids whose parents said they would be back by 12. Its 4 a.m. and they still aren't home. I don't get paid enough for this. FML
Today, I'm babysitting. The kids have only been home at the same time together for 15 minutes. Two of them have punched each other and the other is running in circles screaming. What is wrong with this picture? FML
Today, I babysat the most annoying and obnoxious kids for almost eight hours, when the parents assured me that they would only be gone about three or so hours. After constant calling and worrying, they finally showed up at 11:30, completely drunk. The mother paid me with three dollars and a banana. FML
Today, I babysat the neighbors’ evil kids. They dropped them over at my house and I played with them for five hours. After taking the brats back home and putting them to bed, their mother asked me what time I came back to the house. She only paid me for the 20 minutes I was in their house. FML
Today, I went to babysit eight kids under the age of ten, all by myself. After five hours of Hell, the parents finally came back from the ASU game. I got paid $5. 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, I was babysitting. Being kind, I went to grab their mail, while their 4 year old ate lunch. He locked me out, wrecked the house, and let me in right when he saw their car two hours later. I didn't get paid. I paid them. FML
Today, I was babysitting three kids, one of whom was particularly difficult to control. While trying to get him to behave, the two girls came up behind me and pulled my pants down. In front of a huge window open to the street below. FML
Today, I was shut in a boiling hot room with six children: a ten year-old who kept shouting; a belligerent seven year-old; two five year-olds who thought hitting me was funny, and two two year-olds who wouldn't stop crying. Their parents were just outside, laughing away, ignoring me. FML
Today, I'm a nanny. After the kids went to bed the dog wouldn't stop barking violently unless I held the end of a blanket for him to hump. I need a raise. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Because she isn't ungrateful.

Totally agree. Why are you doing this if ur not getting paid? Unless these are your younger brothers and sisters acting like this and your mom is a deadbeat than YDI. If the scenario I described is true then FYL, but why are you on FML? Your younger sibling is probably pissing their pants again.

release them into the wild, they will learn the ways of the wild and start worshiping a boars head. until one child, most likely a the fattest one, angers the rest and is crushed with a boulder.

OP, Just leave them by themselves. Lock the door, Call the parent and tell them that they locked you out and they got into something bad and just leave That'll teach that bitch to not pay you and not get back home in time

why hurt yourself when THEY'RE the fukups!? solution: lock one up in the bathroom, another in the closet, and just stare at the third till they get the point. exchange every hour or so....by the third hour you'll have all of them quietly watching tv and fetching you popcorn. believe me, it works=)

Lock them in a closet. No closet? A cupboard will work. No cupboard? hopefully you have a washing machine and dryer. Don't have that either? Large trash bag.

I would have only agreed to this if they were blood related to me. That is ridiculous. I would lose it. I'd probably tell their mom off too when she got home.

I'd expect to get some form of recompense for looking after little hellions like that even if they were blood related to me. Is my family the only one who pays for 'care' favours done by the teenagers or something?
LilaBear 2
how is it a care favour if it's paid for? That's not what a favour is.
ReynshineCutting 10
In high school I used to babysit my nephew once a week and never got paid, nor expected to be paid. He wasn't a hellion but he's definitely a handful and likes to test his boundaries. Now he's 4 1/2 and they have a 2 year old that's apparently harder to handle than he was. I'm in college out of state or I'd still babysit. I feel bad for my sister in law sometimes since she's a stay at home mom lol.

@87: You never had to look after my quadraplegic father. He's an irritating git who needs a lot of looking after. I was paid £5 per evening, if we didn't have a massive arguement.

lol you expect kids to have discipline and listen to you? At least you're getting good practice scrubbing their tightie whities. You can do mine next
carcinogan 0
actually yes. I was quite well mannered at my age. no yelling, crying, peeing in my pants, etc. I grew up and became more rebellious but I am still mannered.
