Today, I was babysitting a 7 year-old brat. He refused to eat his vegetables, so I forbade him from playing until they were finished. He stomped off upstairs, so I let him cool off for a couple of minutes. When I went upstairs, he had taken scissors to all of his mother's clothes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting. Everything was going well until the kid called 911 on me for making him eat his vegetables. FML
Today, I was babysitting a really annoying kid who wouldn't listen to me, and threw his food through the kitchen, so I punished him. When his mother came home he ran to her and said, "Mommy, mommy, it's not true what you told me, fat people are NOT nice!" FML
Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML
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 was babysitting my nephew. He was acting up, so instead of spanking him, I put him in the corner for timeout. He screamed and thrashed and kicked the walls so hard my neighbors called the police. My sister wasn’t answering her phone, and I had to explain why a 7-year-old was acting like that. 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 saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, I got home and found my babysitter furious and my 5 year-old exhausted from crying. Normally he chooses to wear Disney princess dresses but today his grandma came for a visit, saw what he was wearing, told him he was bad, and forced him to wear trousers. I’m ready to kill the bitch. 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 was babysitting a four year-old. He was mad and began hitting me. I told him to use his words not his fists when he's mad. He then began telling me how much he hated me, and that I should go die and never come back. FML

Never let the kids out of your site

You trap kids in websites? That's an interesting punishment.

The way some people completely butcher the english laugh is seriously depressing.

Those parents need to do a better job with their kid! Show a lot about their parenting skills that's for sure! It's their own fault as far as I am concerned.

You should've been watching him! Also, when it comes to kids, you've gotta choose your battles more wisely! Was it really that important for him to eat his veggies? No! Babysitters are supposed to be fun, not strict like parents! YDI for trying to be a parent instead of a babysitter! You have to pay for the damages!!

You have no idea what the agreement was between the parents and the OP, they could have told her that he has to eat his vegetables. Sorry, but I wouldn't want a babysitter that let my kid get away with everything and act as king of the house. The babysitter's job is to act as the temporary authority, not "OMG IT'S TIME FOR FUNS ALL AROUND!" Should the kid have fun? Yes, absolutely, but only when they are behaving properly, not like a monster.

Never ever ever leave a child unattended. If he's naughty you need a highly visible naughty chair. There's a lot a kid can do in just a few minutes.

Maybe the brat had a side deal going with his mom, if he could hack all of her clothes in a couple of minutes. That doesn't say much for her wardrobe.

I have to say ydi for letting him out of your sight. Your job was to babysit. Kids are tough to handle these days.

First of all it is your responsibility to be watching the child. Secondly, you are to be paying attention to him!!! Therefore I hope they let you go/fired you.
