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
Collection
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, 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
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 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 spent my date night babysitting. After waiting three hours later than I was supposed, the mother finally gets home at 11, too late for me to get out and have any fun. Already annoyed, I take the money as she says, "I hope this is enough, I got hungry and spent some of your money." FML
Today, I babysat for my neighbor's brat kid. The mom gave me $15 for 5 hours. I complained to my mom when I got home because last time I got $15/hour. Turns out my mom had told my neighbor that she thought they'd paid me too much last time. Thanks mom. Thanks. 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, my wife bitched at me for not washing my hands before handling the dishes. The dirty dishes. That were sitting in a sink of hot soapy water. According to her, the dirt from my hands was gonna make the dirty dishes even dirtier. Huh? FML
Today, I taught a kid piano for a two hour lesson. The mom left to do some errands, and by the time two hours was up, she texted me asking to watch the kid for another "15 minutes" while she returned home. No problem, she had the money too, so I stayed. Four hours later, she showed up, and refused to pay me extra. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah because somehow, you doing her dishes sucks the cash right out of her wallet.

Next time don't do anything and leave the house a mess. Then when she gripes you out, remind her of this occasion. Kind of hard to have it both ways.

I'd be grateful if I was the woman who left her kids, because if someone washed the whole pile of dishes in my sink while babysitting my kids I'd thank them for helping me out so much! (: x

#2 kind of feels like she would bitch about that too, even though op would remind her. Some people are just never satisfied.

OP's name kind of leaves the impression that there won't be a next time.

Don't u hate when that happens?! I babysit for a lady with 5 kids! I babysit 4 of them... anywayss, it takes her atleast 2 months to pay me and I normally stay over night. We're talking $200 pay checks and I'm 14!

So... You ignore the fifth kid?

The fifth kid is obviously of the age to take care of themselves.

Whoa, $200 over two months?! Look out!

#26 she isn't saying she makes $200 over two months, she's saying her landlord owes her $200 and takes two months to pay it. That $200 could have been earned over any period of time.

Why is a 14 year old on FML?

There's no age limit for enjoying FML's! I'm thirteen and enjoy it a lot :-)
gmc_blossom 21
There is an age limit for the iPhone app, though. It makes you confirm you're 17 or older. 0.o

I forgot all about that untill you said that. (that and I'm 21 and there are a lot of apps that ask you if you're 17 or older, so it becomes habit)

She seems like a very difficult woman to work with. Most people would just smile and say thank you. Bitches be crazy.

Youve just learned a valuable lesson OP. Never go the extra mile no matter what.

You should've used your username to apply for OP's job if she's angry enough to leave it.

I don't think I would be babysitting for her again. She doesn't sound like the type that's paying you very well anyways.
blubberfish 10
If you babysit again, you should mess her house up. That way she can't accuse you of wanting more money.

No good deed really does go unpunished.
