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 the student tutor my son advised me to hire was my son's girlfriend. I have been paying her $20 an hour for the last 3 weeks to make out with my son in his room. FML

Today, my boyfriend came home and said he'd been fired from his minimum wage cashier job. He added that since I make enough to cover the bills, he wants to take a break from "working and shit." I stared at him, mouth agape, and he thought I was offering him a blowjob. FML

Broke

Today, I saw my ex asking for change outside a store. I was so shocked and sad to see him in such a position, I offered to take him home with me, let him shower and cook him a good meal. He laughed in my face and said, "Nah, I just do this for some quick bucks. It’s easier than working." FML

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

Today, I tutored a kid for two hours, for $25 an hour. When it came time for them to pay, my mother told the kid's parents that they could give me ten bucks for the whole thing. She does this a lot. FML

Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." 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

Kinda ****** up

By me - 03/07/2025 20:00 - United States

Today, after presenting my husband with a more than fair request to pay me an hourly wage for being a stay-at-home mom, he laughed his ass off and told me if I want money so badly, I could get a job. He'd rather strangers in daycare raise our babies than pay me what I'm worth. FML

Assuming you declined, did he offer to pay you in Trident Layers after?

You should've told him no thanks you've already shortchanged me once already.

"Jeeze, that approach ALWAYS works in porno's!" "Doh!!!!!" That guy's an idiot at best, a sexual narcissist AND an idiot at worst.....

I don't know if I'd believe this guy, clearly he had enough money to go out so that a babysitter was required. Maybe depending on how much it actually was I would develop some kind of 'payment plan' where he can pay $20 here and $20 there. I don't think suing him over babysitting money is very realistic though.

So did you have the sex with him?

You say "six hours straight" like it's a long time...

Well, it kind of is...if he'd asked her to watch his child for an hour or 2 in a pinch without payment, it might be different. But 6 hours is a long time to be strapped to someone else's kid then not get paid (assuming he'd originally said he would).

It's a long time to be watching someone else's kid for free.

And then again, it could have been for a weekend. I'm just saying, be glad it was ONLY 6 hours.
