Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to the pool with my son. One moment I'm sitting down, applying sunscreen to my legs, and the next I look up to see him squatting on the diving board, seconds before dropping a deuce into the pool. As we got kicked out, he screamed that it was my fault. FML
Today, I rescued a little boy who looked like he was drowning in a public pool. His mother then smacked me in the face for "touching him". FML
Today, at my job as a lifeguard, the kids in the pool decided to start a new game. The game involved spreading out to different parts of the pool and pretending to be drowning at the same time. Whoever was "saved" first, won. FML
Today, while working as a lifeguard, a kid took a dump in the pool. When I told everyone to clear the pool so we could clean it, another kid promptly stared at me, stood at the shallow end right where I was standing, pulled down his trunks, and peed on my feet. FML
Today, my boyfriend threw me into his pool. I had my phone and iPod in my pockets. FML
Today, at the pool, a kid no older than 8 was sitting on the diving board, not letting anyone else use it. I went over and tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. My uncle stormed over, said "I got this!" and punted him over the edge. We both got thrown out for "bullying" the kid. FML
Today, my family and I were celebrating my dad's birthday. The two of us were standing by the pool chatting, and I jokingly said "You're old now." I suppose I should have expected him to shove me into the pool, my phone still in hand, and retort, "You're soaked now." FML
Today, while lifeguarding, a kid thought it'd be hilarious to take a crap in the pool. The other kids freaked out and rushed to get out. Several of them slipped on the way out and hurt themselves fairly badly. Two parents are now threatening to sue us, and my boss blames me. FML
Today, I was swimming at the water park, when out of nowhere a lifeguard bombed into the pool, grabbed me, and hauled me to the surface, running his hands over my chest in the process. Apparently, the way I swim makes it look like I'm in my drowning death throes. FML
Today, I went to the pool. When I hit the water the top of my swimsuit came off so I tried to put it on underwater. The lifeguard thought I was drowning and pulled me out in front of everyone. Topless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell his parents they owe you a new phone, and that their son is a little shit.

I don't see this as a FML. It's more of a FML to the kids parents who will be buying you a new phone. Hopefully you have a expensive one so the parents teach there kids to control themselves.

Well first of all, if you hadn't been 'pretending' to get the kid in trouble for not listening to you this wouldn't have happened. If you're babysitting, you're supposed to be the one in charge. You deserve it for allowing yourself to be bullied by a child that still needs a sitter. This boy isn't your brother, and the fact that you find it necessary to try and tattle on him instead of exercising the authority you're supposed to possess in this position only goes to show that you shouldn't be watching anyone's children.

I agree with #152, but also want to add: OP, please don't ever have children yourself since you don't seem to be able to handle them and they will grow up to be little brats like the one you're babysitting.

okay, obviously this girl is young. she said she tried to get them out but the kid did not listen. you can't force a kid out with words if he isn't used to listening to his guardians, because if he acted this way toward her now then it definitely was not the first time he misbehaved.. and sdras, saying she shouldn't have children just because the kid has parents that let him get to this point, doesn't mean she shouldn't have kids. again- she's young, and kids who are brought up being allowed to be brats does not make it her fault and does not mean she should not have kids when shes older.

You're right, you can't force children with words. Or in this case, threats. You can however, walk yourself into the pool, take the child's hand, and lead them out of the pool. You have no idea how old the OP is. It's entirely possible she's well into her twenties. Children act completely different with sitters than they do with their parents, as is obviously the case here or the OP would not have thought telling the father would make any difference. Parents make boundaries extremely clear, the OP obviously has not.
