Today, I got a new babysitting job. Every time the little girl goes to the bathroom, she screams and cries until I wipe her. She's 7 years old. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Slippery when wet
Today, I realized that my 3 year-old son, who is being potty trained, has better aim standing up to pee than his 30 year-old father. FML
Hard no
Today, my mother stopped speaking to me because I won’t let her babysit anymore. Her idea of babysitting is to sit my daughter alone with a tablet and a pile of sugary junk food for 7 hours straight. FML
Well done!
Today, I was at the mall with my young daughter. I hate pooping in public but I really had to go so I brought her in with me. Thinking we were alone, I started to go and my daughter yelled, "Good job Mommy, you're using the potty like a big girl!" I then heard laughing. FML
Quick learner
Today, I've been babysitting a 4 month-old for two days. This has made a great impression on my cat, because now I can't sit down without him jumping up and licking my face until I pat his butt and rock him like the baby. FML
Thanks for the info
Today, my mother told my boyfriend a cute story about me when I was little. The one where my cousin and I were caught pooping in a urinal in the church basement. FML
Demon child
Today, I was babysitting a new child. I guess she heard me tell her parents about my severe peanut allergy because she got a jar out of the pantry, spread it all over the stairs leading to where her fort was, and walked around with a baseball bat covered in it so I couldn't come near her. FML
Self report
Today, I was with my 3 year-old son in the doctor's office. During the exam, he informed the doctor that he doesn't sleep in mommy's bed anymore because mommy sleeps in her underwear and farts all night long. FML
Judgemental
Today, my sister told me not to come over anymore because her baby is scared of my face. FML
Welcome to the neighborhood
Today, the couple with three noisy toddlers in the apartment above mine finally moved out. A couple with a non-stop crying newborn moved in. FML
Mommy milk time
Today, I saw a woman breastfeeding her child at the local park. That would have been just fine if the child wasn't at least 8 years-old. FML

Her parents have obviously done a shitty job..

That's pretty inappropriate for that age. I would have called the parents and asked what was going on.

It would be pretty weird if you did.

She/he said they did dumbass

Haha I was trying to think up something quickly but I failed, I'll see myself out now...

Maybe teach her how to do it herself.. Wet wipes to the rescue .. Good luck op
Calingaladha 21
Wet wipes aren't flushable, though. Even when they say they are.
KcMeyer90 12
#2 has a piont. but use huggies flushable wipes. & #81 yes they are fushable you just got to be careful in which ones you use and how many. a child should only use 1-2.
Calingaladha 21
Technically, yes, you can flush them. But all they'll do is clog up pipes. They don't break down. My uncle and cousin both run plumbing businesses, and have given me advice against them.

This is the first time I've seen such an upvoted comment with this pun.
TheNewGuy03 29
Case in point: any time I have made any pun even remotely involving the word "shit," I get buried faster than an ancient secret treasure.
snarkytruth 37
I don't get it either. It's kind of a tradition to down vote that joke on FML. Maybe it's a little too real in this case.

#72 It's kinda a tradition to downvote every joke in FML...
turtle_darkness 17
Lol I honestly meant this with no pun intended, that's just kind of how it played out haha. I'm surprised myself I didn't get buried.

This is why I'm never having children ?
Xquisite1 28
It's all about parenting. This isn't the normal behavior of an average 7 year old. This child has issues.
MikaykayUnicorn 36
Is that a question or a statement? And normal kids don't behave like this. I definitely was able to wipe myself at 7. Most kids with responsible parents can wipe themselves at 7.
jen1097 25
It was a statement but I put an emoji so it comes up as a question mark, it was supposed to be the laughing face to show I wasn't really serious
littlekellilee 45
FML does not like Emoji's or Emoji users. FML does not like you. Good news though! We can put you in a rigorous 90 day emoji detox. FML loves people.
sturschaedel 27
Girl, you are 18. I'm not saying your opinion on having kids will change for sure in the next 20 years, but it very well may. So "never" is a bit strong for such a statement.
DoomedGemini 38
I believe she said she's joking and even if she isn't, it's extremely shitty to tell people that like you know better than them. Really, what's the point of it other than making them feel like you are trying to act like you know them better? If they change their mind, they change their mind, you telling them does nothing.

Thankyou! As I stated in an above comment i said it jokingly... Jeez

That doesn't seem like a question...

it is illegal and immoral for you to touch a 7 year olds genital area wipe that and go to jail marked as a pedophile no reason or excuse will help you
Spongegirlcs 17
You're not too bright, are you…
BreM16 23
Jeez, Op's wiping the kids ass, not inappropriately touching her for self enjoyment. What do you expect the kid to do? Sit on the toilet until her parents get home?
SPN_lover666 27
#5, My cousin is a stay at home dad with a 5 year old daughter who is disabled and can't wipe herself. Is he a pedophile? Should he go to jail? What about her babysitter? Is she a pedophile and deserves to go to jail for wiping her?
lulinator 40
My son is ten and autistic and doesn't have the physical coordination to wipe his ass. Is it illegal for his teacher to wipe his ass so he doesn't go around smelling like shit all day? Obviously these parents know their kid can't wipe, yet still hired OP.
NostalgiaFreak9 43
So I take it you think your parents are pedophiles? Because they changed your diapers.
XxDanno316xX 27
#5, Your comment makes me sick. Legit. I don't normally get angry at a commenter expressing their thoughts, but yours is so ******* absurd
snowkittyyy 18
#5: hate to say it, but you're a darn idiot. I feel sorry for your future children. Don't reproduce.

#17 and everyone else, if a grown man interacts with a child nowadays he's branded a pedophile. I'm pretty sure if he goes to wipe the child he'll most likely get arrested. Some parents aren't too smart nowadays.
MariaGiovanni 25
I think we found the real pedophile. You are the only one with that mindset. If OP was wiping them and they were able and willing to wipe themselves then yes there would be an issue but the options in this situation as presented are A let the child cry and sit with shit and/or piss on them until their parents get home or B wipe them. You really wouldn't wipe them?
sillygirl247 14
Dude chill if a kid can't wipe its ass you wipe it for them. That's the mature thing to do. If your that uncomfortable make them get in the shower vs wiping them.
Leauge 13
My friends mother wiped him until he locked himself into the bathroom refusing to let her in. He was about eight. Don't worry op the child may get over it eventually.
puppiesarelife 2
That's creepy. Had to lock her out so he could do it himself?
sturschaedel 27
My SIL wiped her youngest very long too. She would have wanted more kids but knew they wouldn't be able to manage a fourth child, so she had a hard time letting go of certain aspects. It didn't go so far that locking her out was necessary though, she just didn't actively encourage the kid to do the wiping. Anyways, might be a similar reason for that case. Though way more over the top.
CoolCookie210 22
That's bad parenting for ya
ShaynaMarie322 15
The parents could've at least warned you about what you were getting yourself into.
LalapaloozaChick 14
are her parents still doing this for her, or is she just using you?
ChopSuey444 20
That's exactly what I was thinking, she could very well know how to do it but just wanted to make the babysitter. Being seven and just now realizing you have the power to make up some rules for someone new could be tempting.
burnthistown 20
That's pretty inappropriate for that age. I would have called the parents and asked what was going on.
TheNewGuy03 29
That, my friend, is the proper response. It doesn't appear that she is physically unable to wipe herself; she seems to be actively refusing to do so.
