Today, I was babysitting a 7 year-old brat. He refused to eat his vegetables, so I forbade him from playing until they were finished. He stomped off upstairs, so I let him cool off for a couple of minutes. When I went upstairs, he had taken scissors to all of his mother's clothes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting. Everything was going well until the kid called 911 on me for making him eat his vegetables. FML
Today, I was babysitting a really annoying kid who wouldn't listen to me, and threw his food through the kitchen, so I punished him. When his mother came home he ran to her and said, "Mommy, mommy, it's not true what you told me, fat people are NOT nice!" FML
Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML
Today, I babysat the brattiest and most foul-mouthed 8-year-old I've ever met. After I survived three hours of it, his parents finally came home. He claimed I'd invited a boy over and that we did "stuff" on the couch all evening. They believed him. I didn't get paid, to say the least. FML
Today, I was babysitting my nephew. He was acting up, so instead of spanking him, I put him in the corner for timeout. He screamed and thrashed and kicked the walls so hard my neighbors called the police. My sister wasn’t answering her phone, and I had to explain why a 7-year-old was acting like that. FML
Today, I babysat a 6-year-old boy for the first time. When I said it was his bedtime, he just screamed "Eat a dick!" at me. I was so shocked, all I could do was leave him be. When his parents returned, I had to make up an excuse for why he was still awake and watching TV, to save my pride. FML
Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, I got home and found my babysitter furious and my 5 year-old exhausted from crying. Normally he chooses to wear Disney princess dresses but today his grandma came for a visit, saw what he was wearing, told him he was bad, and forced him to wear trousers. I’m ready to kill the bitch. FML
Today, I babysat a kid who was such a bratty little prick that I actually considered walking out on the job. After his mom finally got home 4 hours later, he called her a slut. When he got in trouble for it, he claimed that I taught him the word. Needless to say, I didn't get paid. FML
Today, I was babysitting a four year-old. He was mad and began hitting me. I told him to use his words not his fists when he's mad. He then began telling me how much he hated me, and that I should go die and never come back. FML

Sucks what the kid did to his mom's clothes, but it also isn't necessary to make someone eat all their vegetables, finish their plate, etc. Put yourself in their shoes.

Really? They need to be prepared now for the life they have when they are adults. If they get problems later on because you forced them to eat something, then you're not looking at the bigger picture. One simply does not get a eating disorder or mental problems just by being forced to eat something they don't like.

A child clearing their plate isn't important, it's not neglecting the healthy stuff. But that's not what's important, in my opinion. Destroying mom's stuff to get someone else in trouble shouldn't leave the babysitter without a job. At 7 years old we're capable of going to our rooms and punching a pillow or playing some music. He went out of his way to cause everyone grief. Was he also "punishing" mom for not being home? Childrens are pricks. I can't wait to tie my tubes.

That kid is far too old to be acting that way. I would expect a kid under 5 to throw a tantrum about having to eat veggies and then go destroy something because he can't let out his anger properly. But 7? The kid's in grade school, for crying out loud. And the reason he acted in the way that he did is probably because his parents let him get away with murder and don't punish him properly. OP's babysitting style may not be what you all are familiar with, but she was doing what she thought was best for the kid, and that's her job after all. And even if that wasn't the right decision, that doesn't give the little brat the right to go destroy someone else's property, he should know better. I'm not saying that I condone spanking for every little thing, but if my kid were to ever do something that stupid, he'd get a swift smack on the behind.

Luckily that wasn't me...I would panic and try to hide the evidence.

Sucks to be you. Babysitters don't force kids to eat. As a mother that would be my job. Your just a baby sitter.

#106 - You're the reason kids are getting stupider. Firstly, you can't even spell correctly. Please do us all a favor and get sterilized.
