Today, I babysat the Antichrist of all kids. After the 5 long hours were over, his parents came home. Instead of paying me what they agreed, they offered to let me eat some leftovers of a takeout in the fridge. I'm so afraid of confrontation that I accepted. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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. 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
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 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. Everything was going well until the kid called 911 on me for making him eat his vegetables. FML
Today, my babysitter told me to find a replacement, so I tried to bribe her into staying by offering her a raise. She told me that the money would be better spent on an exorcist. FML
Today, I had a babysitting job. When I got there, the parents were rushing out the door and told me they'd left instructions for the kids on the table. The first bullet point stated that the oldest was convinced she is possessed by the devil, but just to ignore it. Three more hours to go. FML
Today, I babysat the most annoying and obnoxious kids for almost eight hours, when the parents assured me that they would only be gone about three or so hours. After constant calling and worrying, they finally showed up at 11:30, completely drunk. The mother paid me with three dollars and a banana. FML
Today, I went to babysit eight kids under the age of ten, all by myself. After five hours of Hell, the parents finally came back from the ASU game. I got paid $5. FML

Rat the little ****** out. No one should have to suffer 5 hours just to be paid with leftovers.

I know it can be tough but you need to learn how to stick up for yourself OP. I've been in similar situations where the families I babysit pay me much less than they promised but leftovers? Not okay. Not okay by a long shot.

Because the parents are going to believe her? They probably already know and just don't care.

They still should have payed in some meaningful way.

Probably wouldn't do any good. The parents' actions in offering OP leftover takeout instead of pay were very selfish, which probably explains why the kid is so insufferable.

Was it bacon?

Impossible. There's no such thing as "leftover bacon".

Good point, I have seen the error of my ways

Don't be afraid of confronting them, for you babysat their hellish child and the least they can repay you is pay you the damn money
ohSNAPyall 27
Money that they had previously agreed to!

you should go back and let them know they owe you for what they said. you should get what you deserve and what was agreed on. good luck.

#18 you seem to not understand me. please look at my bio.
tarlax 11
Nah dude, you don't seem to understand ME. Look at MY profile, it explains everything.
CommentKing207 23
Your profile can't be accessed. It makes sense, because you haven't explained anything to me.
tarlax 11
It can't be accessed? Nah man, you're just not clicking hard enough.

You gotta learn to embrace confrontation, or this won't be the only place you get screwed over. Stand up for yourself!!

You do realize that there are words longer than three letters, right?
CommentKing207 23
YDI for not standing up for yourself. Demand your pay and tell the kid off. His parents will be ashamed of him and you will get the pay that you deserve.
