Today, when I got home, my child had three bruises. My babysitter's excuse? "She hit me first". 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

Smash the patriarchy!
Today, I got home to my son with a bruised face and my daughter locked in her room. Apparently, when she got home from work, her unemployed brother asked her when she was going to cook dinner, so she punched him in the head. He’s so entitled that he actually thought he’d get sympathy from me. FML

Straight to jail
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. 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

Sorry sweetie
Today, instead of kissing my child's boo-boo on her finger to make it feel better, I accidentally headbutted her. FML

The Headmaster Ritual
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML

Today, my son trained his little sister to walk up to strangers and whimper: "My mommy punches me." FML

Evil child
Today, I tried to put the little girl I babysit in timeout for lying to me. I was about to sit her down when she made a mad dash for the basement stairs, slipped on the wood floor, and fell down them. She told her parents and everyone at the ER that I had thrown her down the stairs. FML

Today, I got bailed out of jail. I was there because I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend. I rushed over to help only to have her hit me repeatedly. The cops came and she blamed her bruises on me. The boyfriend corroborated her story. FML

I think you should sue her to death

Maybe you could give the babysitter a few bruises.

i am sure your child did nothing wrong to deserve it.

A child doesn't deserve bruises. Ever.

Even if the child was being a brat, they do not deserve to be hit so hard that bruises are left. I do not think any babysitter should spank a child. The parents should be the only one to spank their child but only a light spank. Not hard enough to leave bruises.

This one actually made me gasp. Out loud. Sooo wrong.

Wow, I'm not one of those people whose gut reaction to everything is "SUE!" but if there was ever a reason to press charges this is it. There is no excuse for hitting a child hard enough to leave bruises. I would seriously consider it OP. Plus, you can then use the experience to show your kid the possible consequences of putting your hands on other people.

Am i the only one calling 911 right now? And cps for a dumb ass parent putting this on fml instead if calling the cops?

Posts on FML aren't published instantly, and you don't know if this was posted right after the incident.

The parents could have easily called police. CPS should not get called just because an fml was posted.

Get the cops involved and get a new babysitter and might I suggest a full background check to make sure this never happens again?
