Today, while babysitting a young girl, I put on the movie Bambi, as she told me it was her favorite movie. I didn't know that her parents always skipped the scene where Bambi's mom dies. Despite my attempts to comfort her, she was still upset when her parents returned. Her mom blamed me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I hired a babysitter for my two kids for the evening. When I came home, I found her sitting on the floor, crying with a full bowl of popcorn, watching a kids' movie. Apparently, my six-year-old had decided to re-enact every scene from the movie, and she couldn’t take it anymore. I had to hug her and assure her that she was doing a great job. FML
Today, I was babysitting a kid for the first time. She asked if she could watch a movie, so I downloaded Cinderella for her. An hour later, this 10-year-old girl was lecturing me about unrealistic standards of beauty and abusive relationships, and how I suck for liking the movie. FML
Today, I got fired from my job as a babysitter because the movie I showed the kids was "too violent and gave them nightmares." What movie was it? Mary Poppins. FML
Today, the girl I like came over to my house to watch a movie. We had seen pretty much every movie that I suggested, so we ended up watching The Lion King. I forgot how sad that movie is, because once Mufasa died I started bawling my eyes out. FML
Today, while babysitting a girl, I told her to be quiet so she wouldn't wake her little brother. In reply, she told me that she would kill me, wake her brother up to show him my dead body, then draw all over my face. I'm stuck with her for another two hours. FML
Today, I went to watch the Movie "UP." At one point in the movie I got really sad and started to cry a bit. The 7 year old girl next to me noticed and told me to shut and man up. FML
Today, I asked out a girl I like to a movie. She said "I hate babysitting." FML
Today, I visited my girlfriend in the preschool she's interning at. She asked me to continue reading The Little Mermaid to her class, handing me the book. After the story, the whole class started to cry. She never told me to sugarcoat the ending and lie, Disney-style. FML
Today, I was watching Animal Planet while babysitting my 4 year-old niece. A really cute baby bunny came on and I called her into the room, only for her to see it get killed by a Bald Eagle. Now she won't stop crying. FML
Today, I was watching the movie Frozen with my 8 year old daughter. I had seen it before, so I sung along with some of the songs. My daughter put a finger over my lips, said "Shhhhhhhhut the fuck up," then turned back to the TV, giggling. FML

That's the mother's fault she knows her daughter likes to watch that movie. She should have told you ahead of time not to play that part. Fyl OP

That sucks that the mom blamed you, you were being so nice to the girl for putting her favorite movie. How could you possibly predict the parents never showed her the ending. You definitely don't deserve YDI.

How were you supposed to know OP?! By looking into your crystal ball??! That mom is a bit daft.

Don't feel bad. Her parents need a reality check. You can't raise kids by trying to shield them from everything. I mean, it's a children's cartoon for crying out loud. Death is real!

Tell the little brat and her mother to get over it. Being coddled never helped anyone.

They skipped the scene that's pretty much the reason for the whole movie?

Kid's gotta learn sometime, and her parents aren't doing her any favors! You did the right thing, OP.

If it's her favorite movie, they should have known she'd ask to watch it, and therefore known to tell you about that. Soooo not your fault!

I'm sorry... but I laughed so hard at this I swallowed my gum. That must haven't been terrible for the kid though.

You should always, always be suspicious when a child says their favorite movie is Bambi...
