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

Today, when I got home, my child had three bruises. My babysitter's excuse? "She hit me first". 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, while babysitting my neighbors' kids, their oldest son used a paint pen on the carpet. The boy blamed me and I got fired. He's only 3 and can barely talk. 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, 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 was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Today, I was knocked unconscious by the 10 year-old I was babysitting because it was his younger sister's bedtime and he didn't want her to go. When I came to, their mother was screaming at me for sleeping on the job. In the middle of the kitchen floor. I lost a job and gained a killer headache. FML
Today, I was fired from the babysitting job I've had for 2 years. I thought maybe the mother had found out that I sometimes let her kids stay up late and have extra sweets. The real reason, as she told me, was that she didn't want her kids loving anyone more than they love her. FML
Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She was obviously not planing on paying you from the start.

You're going to have to treat babysitting like a car hire agreement. You go around the subject with a diagram to mark any known faults before you take responsibility.

That's shit. And as a parent myself, I know kids mess around, run around like loonies and generally have no fear, and will get cuts, grazes and bruises because of this. Sorry to hear about this, the bitch obviously had no intention of paying you to begin with.

Has it come to the point baby sitters have to take photos with time/date stamps of their charges b4 the patents leave to avoid this kind of bullshit?

Next time point out any scratches, bruises, and or cuts that you see to the parent(s). Say to them "mrs.Ann .. I noticed that there's a cut on his face.." And then this will let her know that your aware and she should explain how that got there or ask the child to let her know how it got there and that you should not get blamed for anything you didn't cause to the child. Also look for more things or its also good to document what you see.

Report them to social services! Say that you were babysitting and noticed some cuts that gave you concern. I'm sure your ex-employees will really appreciate a call from child protection!
