Today, I was told at my babysitting job that I can't bring my toddler with me. My employer is my best friend. Now I have to find a babysitter for my kid if I want to babysit hers. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to quit my job. Why? Because I don't have a babysitter anymore. All I did was tell them I didn't want them mocking my baby when he cries. FML
Today, one of my best friends went into labor 14 days early. I'd told my boss previously about this and that I need to be there for my friend as she doesn't really have any family. My boss will not let me leave work to be there. Why? I didn't give enough notice. 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 got fired from a great babysitting job because the little girl said I was boring. FML
Today, I was rudely stopped in the park by a woman screaming at me for being a slut for having a baby so young. She got so worked up that she started swearing. Not only was I just babysitting for a friend, I am unable to get the toddler to stop swearing. 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 was fired from the babysitting job I've had for 2 years. I thought maybe the mother had found out that I sometimes let her kids stay up late and have extra sweets. The real reason, as she told me, was that she didn't want her kids loving anyone more than they love her. FML
Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML
Today, my best friend rang me to complain about having to pay childcare fees when she's still working from home. She doesn't understand why I couldn't sympathize with what she was going through. Clearly she forgot I'm a childcare worker who would like to be paid for the work I do. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe your best friend can watch your child while your watching her kid.

What a horrible friend. I'd just find a new job so you can babysit both yours and their kid (: Best of luck.

Don't babysit her kid. It's as simple as that. Guarantee you she will be begging you to one back and that's when you hit her with a pay rise. Your friend is not worth babysitting for. You are doing her a favour regardless that she hopefully pays you.

Tell her you can't watch her kid because you can't find a sitter for your kid.

Cancel at the last minute and tell her it is because you couldn't find a sitter.

That sucks! Find someone who will let you take your kid!

You'd probably be better off not watching her kid anyway since asking you to drop your kid with someone else is pretty damn rude. The only time i could imagine it would be appropriate is on a temporary basis because of illness, or if her child has an immune deficiency.

I quit when my employer told me I couldn't watch my kid with hers once she was born. I watched her kids every day in my own home. She told me, 2 months before I gave birth, that I needed to find my own sitter because she didn't want any attention taken from her kids. I said goodbye right then.

Simple solution. Don't babysit for her.

if she was your "friend" she wouldn't make you give up your child so you can watch hers. why cant you bring your child so they can play? seriously its not worth it. your child comes first op

Time to find a new best friend instead of an insensitive bitch
