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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 babysat the most annoying and obnoxious kids for almost eight hours, when the parents assured me that they would only be gone about three or so hours. After constant calling and worrying, they finally showed up at 11:30, completely drunk. The mother paid me with three dollars and a banana. FML
Today, I babysat a 10 year old from hell. She kept insulting me, saying I have tiny boobs, that boys must hate me, and that I'm ugly. I eventually got fed up and put her to bed. When her parents came back, she ran out of her room in tears and told them I'd beaten her. They believed it. FML
Today, I babysat a 6-year-old boy for the first time. When I said it was his bedtime, he just screamed "Eat a dick!" at me. I was so shocked, all I could do was leave him be. When his parents returned, I had to make up an excuse for why he was still awake and watching TV, to save my pride. FML
Today, I babysat the neighbors’ evil kids. They dropped them over at my house and I played with them for five hours. After taking the brats back home and putting them to bed, their mother asked me what time I came back to the house. She only paid me for the 20 minutes I was in their house. FML
Today, I was babysitting a little boy for the first time. He kept using all sorts of profanity toward me the whole evening, so I told his mom when she picked him up. She just grunted and muttered, "Fucking cunt-ass snitch." FML
Today, I babysat the Antichrist of all kids. After the 5 long hours were over, his parents came home. Instead of paying me what they agreed, they offered to let me eat some leftovers of a takeout in the fridge. I'm so afraid of confrontation that I accepted. FML
Today, I babysat a 9-year-old kid for the first time. The moment his parents left the house, the little shit looked me dead in the eyes and let me know that if I didn't let him do whatever he wanted, he'd tell his parents that I touched him in his "no-no place". Suddenly I hate kids. FML
Today, I was babysitting. Being kind, I went to grab their mail, while their 4 year old ate lunch. He locked me out, wrecked the house, and let me in right when he saw their car two hours later. I didn't get paid. I paid them. FML
Today, I babysat an 11 year old kid while his parents ate out. As soon as they left, the kid asked me if I wanted to be on the sex offender's list. Before I could even process that, he told me to stay out of his way and he wouldn't accuse me of anything. FML

Since you aren't getting paid I would tell the parents how he acted and tell them how much of a brat he is. You might as well enjoy something from this.

He acts like a brat since parents always take his side. My advice never baby sit for them again and spread the word around so they can't get another sitter.

Well if you're not getting payed, you might as well speak your mind...

If it were me, and I wasn't getting paid, I would've said everything I felt about that kid and their ignorance towards this kid

I'm guessing you won't be rehired. If you're neighbours with them, expect dirty looks :3

I knew a boy like that at that age growing up. He even taught a 5 year old to act the same and run over people's feet with his bike. He got a girl pregnant when he was a teenager, went to a year round boarding school, then committed suicide in his early 20s. If the boy in the FML doesn't clean his act he could have a similar grim fate coming to him. Hopefully his parents come to their senses and set him straight,

The best idea was already posted, tell your friends and make it hard for them to get a sitter. Also a good idea to use your phone to video the bad behavior. It's hard to argue with video.

Small claims court - hopefully they'd rather pay you than miss work and be embarrassed in front of a judge. Make notes with a timeline and specific things that were said. Screenshot your messages and/or calls to others to show no one was there.

Problem child.

Shit on their doorstep. Save up a massive one or bring some friends to join in.

Nah, Poopsenders.com is where it's at. You can get 3 different types of poop, delivered straight to the enemy, with a business card in it that says 'Turn over to see who sent you this!' On the other side, it says 'We're not telling! -Poopsenders' (Source: boyfriend who cheated and tried to get me pregnant by swapping out my pills. Apparently it was his fetish to have so much power over someone he could get them to abort a baby.)
