Today, I found out my babysitter has been selling the breastmilk I produce for my baby and replacing it with formula, while still taking my money every week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mom put breast milk in my cereal until I was 7 years old. FML
Today, I was called a horrible excuse for a mother just for buying formula for my baby. I just don’t produce any milk of my own. FML
Today, I found out that when my room-mate agreed to babysit someone's two year old kid for money, what he really planned on doing was dumping it with me. The kid won't stop crying and screaming. FML
Today, I caught my pregnant wife trying to suck milk from her breasts. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my 12-year-old daughter because my ex-wife thought she could cure our daughter's lactose intolerance by sneaking milk into her soy breakfast. The milk had expired. FML
Today, I got screamed at by a woman at work for feeding her 3-week-old infant formula instead of the bottled Kool-Aid that she packed. FML
Today I left my 8-week-old with my brother so I could return to work. His wife took all the breast milk I'd packed out of the fridge and poured it out. According to her, it was “gross” and she didn’t want it near her food. My son is allergic to formula. FML
Today, I found out that while my mother-in-law claimed to be babysitting my son, she was actually dropping him off at an unlicensed “day care” in a shady part of town so she could go out. How did I find out? The house was raided by police. FML
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 found out that my partner intentionally acts like she sleeps through our baby's cries in the middle of the night, just to force me to do all the late night feeds and diaper changes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Report her! Not only is she stealing but she's not giving the baby what its own mother thought it was receiving!!! Oh this is outrageous!

The next thing you know, the baby will be replaced with a doll and Junior will be "adopted" to Timbuktu

Where is she selling breast milk ?

My guess would be a private milk bank. They will pay for donations, unlike most regulated ones. I can only think of one regulated milk bank that pays $1 per ounce. Many women who can't breastfeed (such as women who've had breast cancer), but still want their baby to receive the health benefits of breast milk, use milk banks so they can provide their baby with breast milk. Although she could be selling it online to someone who is using it for entirely different reasons.

You can absolutely take this woman to court. I double checked with my father - he's a state's attorney. Theft, selling of an unregulated product, endangerment (especially if the baby has special health needs), disgusting violation of trust, etc...

That babysitter would "disappear" if she did that to my baby girl.......

Who in the hell is buying this breastmilk? You need to report her, that isn't right.

Where would that idea even come from? Is there a big black market for breast milk?

Actually, yeah. some moms aren't capable of producing. breast cancer patients, or women who have had implants or reductions for example. so there is a market for it.

It's not really a black market. it's actually completely legal and regulated in Canada. makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

not black market. but legal one :) I could sell my breast milk ( currently breastfeeding ) for $5 -$7 an ounce. bodybuilders and others buy it. Google it :)

People wanting breast milk for their baby might be buying it, or some people might just want to replace cows milk with it. I'll probably get negative views or something, but I wouldn't mind replacing cows milk with it, though obviously only through a safe place(doubt a company will do that though) and only through willing people. This FML makes me mad, selling someone's milk and then using formula? Really? How desperate/selfish can you be?

Why does everyone on this site take everything so seriously?

Maybe because not only is this a serious violation of trust, but it deprives the child of the multitude of health benefits received from breast milk.
