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

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.

There's a big difference between spanking and leaving bruises. If this is someone old enough to watch children, they are too old to claim the playground defense of "she hit me first!"

Unless we're reading different FMLs, I can't see where it says the babysitter "hit" the child. I've volunteered with kids for almost five years, and I had a child try to physically hurt me once, and we had to retrain the child for the safety of the leaders, and the other children. There were a couple of bruises on the child, but that was because they were still trying to attack the leaders while we were required to call their parents. Also, it doesn't specify the age of the child, or the size of the bruises, even if the babysitter had spanked the child, it could have been coincidental bruising, from an accident. Without more information, I feel that people are being way to harsh on the babysitter. Go ahead and thumb me down, but I need more information before I start telling the OP to "sue" them.

Kill the bitch!!!!!

...why is this on FML, and why did you not immediately call the police? I hope you have your child taken away from you to a better parent.

YDI for shitty parenting. Your kid should know better than to hit people, especially ones with authority. Also, you should've researched your babysitter better.

My excuse to the cops , I killed the babysitter

Child abuse. I babysit- I would NEVER hit them back. And I wouldn't pay someone who did. Hope you kicked that chick out of your house ASAP
