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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was babysitting a couple of kids. I'd spent time with them before, so I brought my video game console to play with them. I forgot to take it home with me. They soon sold it to another kid for $10. 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 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 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 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 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 boy who was 11 years old. He told me that he loved me and wanted to be my boyfriend. I told him that I think he is a really great kid but I'm 17 so it would never work out. He said okay. When his parents came home he told them that I hit him and started crying. 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, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. 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

Did you explain to the parents what happened? If you did and they still refused to pay you they are total douchebags. Ask your parents to get involved and get you your money.

I have to wonder...did he let you choose any pokemon and you chose all legendaries? If so, I'd probably be annoyed too. Of course, it's no excuse for the parents behaviour, but, just saying, it's kinda bad poke-etiquette. In any case, I guess, start putting up posters and try to find a new client?

All legendaries do not necessarily mean a better team....

It says it was her first time playing, so I'm pretty sure she didn't know the difference between legendary pokemons to non-legendary pokemons. She probably won by pure luck.

32 - True, but I think it's still kinda douchey. They're not always better, and even if they are that doesn't mean they're unbeatable, but it's still annoying when someone does pick pokes with much higher stats, especially when they do it repeatedly. Still, as 34 said, as a first time player she may not even know which pokes are and aren't legendary anyways. Though, on the other hand, if she doesn't know much about them it's possible she may choose legendaries as they might be most familiar to her as they feature on the box art, dvd covers, etc. Them and Pikachu anyway.

over-protective parents used panic attack! It was super affective!

There is no excuse for the parents being upset or paying. A child that can't handle losing as a kid is gonna grow up to be a spoiled douchebag.

And get knocked to his/her ass when he realizes life isn't fair and you don't always win.
NerdyPanther09 6
Exactly!

Agreed. 10 yrs old is much too old to be crying when you lose at things. He needs to stop being allowed to win at everything.

Don't you now the kid has to win. After all, it is called 'baby'-sitting.

Play a game with the parents called Small Claims Court. You'll win and they'll start crying, but you'll have triple your money.

That kid is a little bitch.

That's horrible parenting right there, to teach the kid that if he ever loses he can just cry like a little bitch until he gets what he wants. FYL, OP.

Well, when the kid becomes a teen they can have so much fun dealing with the nightmare they created.
