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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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'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 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 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 Antichrist of all kids. After the 5 long hours were over, his parents came home. Instead of paying me what they agreed, they offered to let me eat some leftovers of a takeout in the fridge. I'm so afraid of confrontation that I accepted. FML
Today, I was babysitting a couple of kids. I'd spent time with them before, so I brought my video game console to play with them. I forgot to take it home with me. They soon sold it to another kid for $10. 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, I volunteered to babysit my nephew. He somehow managed to lock himself in the bathroom and then flood it with the sink. I had to call his parents, and they're now on their way home from their romantic anniversary dinner. I'm not even getting paid for this. FML
Today, the woman I babysat for blamed me for the cut on her son's face, and fired me with no pay for not looking after him properly. He already had the cut when I arrived. FML

Seriously, first rule of babysitting is that you NEVER leave a kid under 10 alone in a house, even if you are right outside. YDI, Completely & Utterly.

Um no..... first mistake, leaving the kid inside alone. Second mistake, paying them for THEIR kid destroying their house. This is why we have brats... Parents don't discipline their kids anymore.

Lol seriously you guys complaining about all this I find it funny leaving a kid alone for a few minutes is fine as long as you keep dangerous things away from the child and not gone more than ten minutes nothing wrong with getting someone's mail for them. Going through it is a crime getting it for them while under they roof for couple hours not that big of a deal. With that said op next time if possible ask for extra key their will be times when you need them. Just make a system for only using when you get there till when you leave. Honestly people making big deal over nothing. If he a baby then yeah this would be an issue. But he four. When I was that age my babysitter locked me and my bro up in a room till mom got home so that kid lucky. Lol. That something you should try doing too lol. Or just tell him this idea and see if he doesn't change his ways lol. If me and bro given chance we would've lol.

FYL- because you had to pay them YDI- because you didn't call them to tell them what happened

Sorry but you deserve it big time. I'm pretty sure they are capable of getting their own mail and frankly I wouldn't want the damn babysitter touching my mail. Not sure what you were thinking.
