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
Today, I got fired from a great babysitting job because the little girl said I was boring. FML

Even if she was watching another younger baby at the time she is still at fault. I've babysat 9 kids at once and always knew what all of them were doing. And anyway she's the babysitter. She is responsible for them during that time. If the three-year-old ruined things while she was the supervisor, it still reflects on her.

Yet another case of parents who strongly believe that their child/children are perfect little angels who could never do anything wrong. Ever. Sure, it was OP's job to be watching the kid, but kids can get into things and make messes in a matter of seconds. Hell, maybe this happened while OP was using the bathroom. Who knows.

If you were actually watching the kids he wouldn't have even gotten hold of the pen in the first place. He's 3. He doesn't know what he did wrong. It's your fault if you ask me

He knew he did something wrong if he blamed it on someone else, instead of proudly taking credit for it.

Where on Earth did the kid find a paint pen? When you have small children, you don't just leave things like that within reach. The parents should have put that up before they left.

I agree. It amazes me that no one else is mentioning the fact that the PARENTS left it down and around in the first place. Why they would believe a grown adult drew on the carpet over their curious 3 year old is beyond me.
