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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Um...they can't NOT pay you. Tell their lazy asses that they HAVE to pay you or get sued.

"Can't not" is a double negative. Meaning they can go without paying her! My mother has not paid babysitters before if my brother and I told her bad things about them. But we didn't cry over losing something, it was always something really bad they did; drinking while babysitting, inviting their friends over for a party, ect. The OP needs to tell the parents why the kid is mad at her and ask for the money. It's ridiculous for a kid like this to get the last word just because he's an immature spoiled brat.

You've misunderstood the nature of a double negative. Can't not means exactly what it sounds like, the negatives cancel one another out so 'can't' negates 'not', meaning that they MUST pay op. It would only work the way you think it does if someone said something like 'I haven't done nothing' in which haven't negates nothing, meaning they HAVE done something.

Actually, this idea may heighten the Halloween spirit...

The money is rightfully yours, because you had to spend time with that little brat.

Wow. He's 10 and he STILL cries over things like that? I'd understand if he was five or six, but once you're ten you're pretty much a preteen. I know some 10 year olds and if they were to cry over something like that they'd be considered spoiled or weirdly sensitive...

I had that happen to me but they payed me. But the kid was my brothers friend so he doesn't hate me

Surely parents need to take anything the kids say about a babysitter with a pinch of salt? Kids exaggerate to the max! That is so rude, maybe you are better off not working for them if something like this was bound to happen!
