Today, trying to pocket a little extra cash for himself, my dad responded to multiple babysitting ads on Craigslist, accepting them all on my behalf. I despise children with all my heart. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the guy whose son I babysat for six hours straight confessed to being broke, then actually asked if he could pay me with sex instead. FML
Today, I babysat a 9-year-old kid for the first time. The moment his parents left the house, the little shit looked me dead in the eyes and let me know that if I didn't let him do whatever he wanted, he'd tell his parents that I touched him in his "no-no place". Suddenly I hate kids. 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, as an agency babysitter, I was sent to babysit “Satan’s evil twin.” This kid is so bad, the dad pays additional fees to the agency for every time he damages the sitter's personal items, or if they require a hospital visit. His advice was, "Don’t be afraid to hit him back or he will take your eyes." FML
Today, a lady chased me through the mall because I wouldn’t babysit her kid while she shopped. I hate kids and don’t babysit, especially random ones, and especially not for free. FML
Today, I called my usual babysitter, one of the few people who can handle my difficult kids, to ask her to watch them for a night next week. She refused. It turns out my wife has been repeatedly underpaying her and she's fed up with it. So long date nights, I guess. 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 found out that when my room-mate agreed to babysit someone's two year old kid for money, what he really planned on doing was dumping it with me. The kid won't stop crying and screaming. FML
Today, I offered to babysit half siblings so my sister didn't have to, but my dad and stepmom said no, because: "Babysitting is a girl's job." FML
Today, at work I had to handle two selfish parents returning their adopted 6 year-old daughter to foster care because, “She doesn’t, like, fit with our lifestyle, and my mom is, like, too old to babysit her anymore and we, like, can’t afford a nanny.” I hate my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Also being kidnapped sucks. Make sure he comes with you to meet them.

You were a child once!

What relevance does that have with what the OP said? Being a child at some point doesn't mean that as an adult they should love children or babies. I personally DESPISE babies because they make really high pitched screams and cries, and younger children for ENCOURAGING them to do it MORE.

YDI for hating kids. You were one too you know.

This doesn't matter at all. We were all kids once. This doesn't mean we have to like children or want to take care of them. I hate children too, and y'know what? As a child, I was probably a perfect example of WHY I hate them. I have no doubt that I screamed bloody murder out in public, annoying the f*ck out of everyone nearby.

You were once a child. But im sure from your point of view you were "Different" from everyone else and that meant you were normal.

For all people hating op because 'they were once a kid too' just because you were once doesn't mean you enjoy looking after kids, it's a personal choice. I've never liked kids and never intend on having any doesn't mean i think we were any different i just don't want to look after a kid. Just because you like kids doesn't mean everyone else has too!

Totally agree with you too. Sick of people thinking I should adore kids and that one day I'll want some of my own. Being a child once doesn't hold any relevance
