Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was fired from the babysitting job I've had for 2 years. I thought maybe the mother had found out that I sometimes let her kids stay up late and have extra sweets. The real reason, as she told me, was that she didn't want her kids loving anyone more than they love her. FML
Today, I got fired from my childcare job of five years because the other staff weren't as popular with the kids, so they accused me of being "creepy" because the kids all wanted to play a game with me instead of them. FML
Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML
Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML
Today, I had to quit my job. Why? Because I don't have a babysitter anymore. All I did was tell them I didn't want them mocking my baby when he cries. FML
Today, I was fired from my babysitting job because the baby’s first word was my name. Well, I’m sorry, but if you ask me to look after your child 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and by the time you pick them up they’re already asleep, of course they’re going to know my name better than yours. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It happens to the best of us. Honestly, you are paid to watch her, not to be her entertainer. While I don't think you should just sit there the whole time I do think that the parents expecting you to have all these tricks up your sleeve is pretty stupid.

So...? That's why a lot of babysitter's get fired from their jobs. Because the kids don't like them.

So...? That's the reason a lot of babysitter lose their jobs. Because the kids think they're boring. A piece of advice. Bring a book, DVD, or boardgame next time. Whenever I have a babysitting job, I take this box I have filled with books, toys, games, crayons, markers, paper, etc. Little kids love that stuff.

Well, it's not hard AT ALL to entertain children. Seriously. I've been babysitting the same girl for almost a year~ and I've NEVER been called boring. Next time-- try to make a good first impression on the parents AND the kid(s). That's all I did and the whole family loves me. I agree with #27. The girl I 'sit LOVES coloring. That's how we bonded. I pretended to love what she loved and BAM. (Kinda the same with guys.) Seriously-- just try. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. :)
