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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

This should be a lesson OP. Your dad has a sense of humor though. :)

Yeah, take advantage of your son/daughter to babysit kids for other people while pocketing ALL of the earning is soo ******* funny. I should take advantage of my kids (when I have them) and take all their cash as well(sarcasm). Seriously, I fail to see any humour in this...

Really? I think that the things humans will do to each other for the sake of money are very entertaining.

I really hope you're not planning on letting him take the money...

Thank goodness SOMEONE said that. Seriously, if my parents did this to me, I'd tell them to kiss my ass. I did the work, I keep the money.

Ah I see what you're saying. The solution to OP's problem: get pregnant.

Well, at least he's not selling you for prostitution... How could anyone have the heart (or lack thereof) to do such an evil thing!?!? Bastards!

being childish and liking children are totally different

Don't get mad, get even. Might I suggest not giving him any money? It's not like the parents would be paying him. Also, use the money to buy something to piss him off. I would have to know the jackass to suggest what to buy but I'm sure someone as dark as you can figure it out ;)
