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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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 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 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 babysat for my neighbor's brat kid. The mom gave me $15 for 5 hours. I complained to my mom when I got home because last time I got $15/hour. Turns out my mom had told my neighbor that she thought they'd paid me too much last time. Thanks mom. Thanks. 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 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 10-year-old and we played Pokémon. It was my first time playing, so he showed me. I ended up winning and the kid started crying and told his parents he hated me. They decided not to pay me for the night, and now I'm out of a job. 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

You can't not get paid for a job you already did. For all you know, she taught him to do that so that she could have an excuse to not pay.

Should have taught him a nazi marching song.

Not sure if you're a child and were bullied into leaving without getting paid but if you are inform your parents. If you're an adult you never should have left without compensation. Please tell me that you eventually got paid.

Well, at least they probably won't call you to take care of their little shit again. That's gotta be a plus.

I hope you gave that mom a good talking to. That's bullshit, she probably knows her kid is a little asshole so she should have believed you.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mother didn't tell him to say that to provide a "reason" not to pay you.

Bratty kids generally have shitty parents. You should have taught him something else before you left.

How did you get the job? Through a friend or an agency. I would definitely spread the word about what happened to you

I had a similar situation once. A 13 year old was being too rough with his 4 year old brother. After him not stopping when asked I put him in his room and he punched me. I got spoken too about cornering him and how it was all my fault. From then on I was not in charge of the 13 year old, just the younger children. The parents might have been idiots but at least they knew enough not to leave him in charge.

Why was a 13 year old needing to be babysat? Probably because he's such a delinquent.
