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, while babysitting a 9-year-old boy, I stubbed my toe on a coffee table. I yelled, "SON OF A…" but managed to stop myself before saying the last part. The boy yelled, "You were gonna say bitch! I'm telling mom and dad!" and, despite my desperate attempts to dissuade him, he did just that. Guess who's fired. 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
Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML
Today, I was fired because a 10-year-old shat his pants and couldn't follow directions. FML
Today, I babysat the brattiest and most foul-mouthed 8-year-old I've ever met. After I survived three hours of it, his parents finally came home. He claimed I'd invited a boy over and that we did "stuff" on the couch all evening. They believed him. I didn't get paid, to say the least. FML
Today, I had to clean up after the kid who discovered he could finger paint with his poo. FML
Today, my son drew in Sharpie all over the wall, so I spanked him as punishment. When my boss came over for dinner, my son shouted, "Daddy made me take my punishment in the butt." 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, while babysitting, I got stabbed by a 7 year-old with a mechanical pencil. FML

If he's the oldest at 3, there's at least one more child. Speaking from experience, it's possible to watch 2 kids at once.

I'd say you commented on the wrong FML, but this is a reply. Not even a thread jacking reply since this one is a bit down the line.

Of course they fired you. They're not going to fire the kid, are they? Blood is thicker than water.

Should have said, 'but it looks beautiful'!

I hope the boys parents teach him a lesson about lying and making a huge mess.

Not 24/7, only the amount that the OP was hired to watch the child. If it's more than she can handle, she's not right for the job. A ruined carpet means anything else could have also happened while the child wasn't supervised better. :P

You didn't get fired for the kids lying...you got fired because while you were watching their kids YOU let a 3 yr old use a paint pen on the carpet...pay attention much

She was paid to supervise, wether lack of ability or attention she didn't fulfill that contract hence she got fired, your an idiot for thinking her firing was harsh...what do you think the responsibilities of babysitting are?

YDI. You were supposed to be watching the 3 year old. If he was out of your sight long enough to get the pen and make the mess you should be fired!
