Today, I was working with the kid I babysit for. We were out and he complained that he was hungry. I spent my very last $2 on chicken nuggets for him and a coffee for myself. Just as I sat down, he knocked over my coffee, spilling it into his chicken nuggets. Then he cried for over an hour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had made a cup of my favorite coffee, which I had recently found to be discontinued. To accompany this last cup, I went to get a muffin. As I turned around, I see my son pouring the cup out because I out put it next to the sink and he thought it was dirty. FML
Today, I grabbed a coffee at the McDonald's drive-thru on my way home from work. As I drove away from the restaurant, a kid darted across the parking lot right in front of me. I had to slam hard on my brakes to avoid hitting him, in the process spilling my hot coffee all over my jeans. FML
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 running late for work and grabbed what I thought was my Stanley mug of coffee. Halfway to work, I took a big swig only to realize I had grabbed my son’s thermos of chicken noodle soup, which I then spat out. My car now smells like a deli, and I'm still uncaffeinated. FML
Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he could get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short, he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML
Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML
Today, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. FML
Today, I hired a babysitter for my two kids for the evening. When I came home, I found her sitting on the floor, crying with a full bowl of popcorn, watching a kids' movie. Apparently, my six-year-old had decided to re-enact every scene from the movie, and she couldn’t take it anymore. I had to hug her and assure her that she was doing a great job. FML
Today, I was babysitting to make a few extra dollars. While changing one of the kid's diapers, I turned around to find the other kid gone. I turned back around frantically, only to get poop flung at my face. I guess I found him. FML
Today, I went to pick up a pizza with my kids for an easy dinner. As soon as I opened my mouth to order, the 2-year-old in my arms vomited into it. FML

Wrong. I have been babysitting/nannying for 7 years in 2 different countries and every family I have ever sat for has either provided food or provided money to buy food. The only exception was a really rich and snobby family from France who always expected me to take their children out to restaurants or on outings, saying they would "reimburse me" and then getting angry when I explained I do not have money to take their children out just sitting in my bank account, that they would need to pay upfront. They were the worst family I have ever sat for, and their previous nanny who I got to meet and speak with confided in me that the whole family was incredibly spoiled. Any costs relating to childcare are ALWAYS paid for by the parents, and in my personal experience, meals/snacks for the sitter have always been provided/taken care of as well.

I don't see "Broccoli nuggets" easily accessible for a dollar anywhere.

Actually, Coffee McNuggets don't sound like a bad entrée; it sounds rather marketable. It's not like you couldn't have just let him eat the McNuggets anyway, even if they would've made him a bit hyper. Also, it sounds like you're a pretty crappy babysitter if you couldn't find a way to stop the kid from crying for that long.

that sucks the parents should give u money for the little one I use to bs and the parents would pay for the kid and I if I would take the kid out because they know kids are kids and they want everything. I hope u at least double charge the parents I mean you spent your money on their kid and he ruined your coffe they have to pay for it... good luck or better get better job or better paying parents LOL
