Today, a woman got out of a car to scream at me as I was walking with the kids I babysit, demanding to know where I was taking her children. Apparently the woman who pays me is also a babysitter, who I have been "covering" for on her party nights. The mother doesn't believe I didn't know this. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my usual babysitter, one of the few people who can handle my difficult kids, to ask her to watch them for a night next week. She refused. It turns out my wife has been repeatedly underpaying her and she's fed up with it. So long date nights, I guess. FML
Today, I babysat for a woman for the first time. When I arrived, there was a large pile of dishes in the sink. I decided to wash the dishes for her while the kids napped. She came home, noticed it, and bitched me out over how I'd only done it "to try and get more money" out of her. What? FML
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 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, 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 informed my daughter-in-law that I’m a granny, not an unpaid, on-call 24/7 babysitter, and no, I will not be babysitting her kids all day so she can go to an all-day brunch with her similarly selfish girlfriends. She threw an actual tantrum and threatened to put me in a home. FML
Today, a person I've never met called me a whore and spat on me. Why? Because I was babysitting for my neighbors and answered the door for two well dressed women passing out religious pamphlets. I politely declined to take any. Apparently being a 15 year-old girl caring for a toddler makes me a sex worker. FML
Today, I had numerous calls from people saying they need a baby sitter, because "they know I wasn't invited anywhere". FML
Today, a lady chased me through the mall because I wouldn’t babysit her kid while she shopped. I hate kids and don’t babysit, especially random ones, and especially not for free. FML
Today, I was rudely stopped in the park by a woman screaming at me for being a slut for having a baby so young. She got so worked up that she started swearing. Not only was I just babysitting for a friend, I am unable to get the toddler to stop swearing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Aha, that sucks. How old must the real babysitter be if she looks like the mom...and if she looks old, wth is she doing babysitting and not doing a real job?

Being a nanny is very much a real job.

Thank you for that slightly angry definition. I do know the difference but I don't assume everyone else does. Many people here use the terms interchangeably and it was the only way the post made sense to me. It mayn't have been a nanny though. BTW, I am not from the States but I do live there, er, here.

she IS doing a real job but with an extra bonus by hiring the op to do the job for less while she gets paid the full price

Well, considering the reaction, I suspect neither of them is going to be able to keep their jobs.

Actually #23, he is really the first born son of the rainbow land's unicorn king. They fart rainbows and gallop on clouds and grant wishes if you catch them. It's really quite spectacular.

I have seen probably 5 people with your profile pic #7 just so you know or if you are one of those people that just uses other peoples faces because you're embarrassed about yourself.

Where were they being taken though? Wouldn't you still be at her house?
spartan_girl 0
maybe they were taking a walk to a park or something. I used to do that with my baby sitter when the weather was nice, and I used to take the kids I babysat to the playground down the street. Obviously this is much easier in some places than in others, but sometimes you just have to get the kids out of the house and moving around!

that's a messed up, I'm surprised the kids, if they could talk, wouldn't their mom this was going on.

I don't get it can someone plz explain to me??

the mom hired the babysitter to watch her kids, the babysitter then hired another babysitter, and pretended to be the mom. The second babysitter then got caught by the mom not knowing who she was, because she was not the babysitter that the mom had originally hired.

She just wanted to know where you were talking them. It didn't matter that a complete stranger was walking with her kids, she just wanted to know that you weren't taking them to a sex party. Or a glue factory. They make glue out of kids, right?

No,I think they make glue from horses.
