Today, the lady whose son I babysit sent me a text, saying she left a gift for me for all the hard work I've done. I found a beautifully-wrapped box where she said the gift was. It turned out my actual gift was cookies sitting right next to it. FML

Hey everyone, OP here. Let me shed a little light here. I was greatful she got me something to begin with! So don't say I wasn't, the sugar cookies were very yummy. It was just very misleading is all. And everyone curious what was in the wrapped present I didn't open it, there was a note flap on it and it didn't have my name on it. I texted her confused and she said it was the cookies. So yes I was greatful, and I'm a bit curious what she got 'Sara' too.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Couldn't vote on this either way. Just don't see how this is an FML?!

Wow, I can't really say FYL, after reading your comments, OP. But I agree it is embarrassing a bit. Although... cookies! :D

but she acknowledged your hard work n actually cared enough to reward ya! Appreciation is rare these days... so this isn't really an FML :D

At least you got cookies. the lady I babysit for (3 kids ages 2,4,10) never pays me when she says she will. I am still waiting on money from last week. it's not like I need the money for Christmas shopping.

My lady does that sometimes, but pays me the next chance she gets. Hun, if you let this go on she will continue to walk all over you. Be firm with her or tell her to find a new sitter. You need to work for someone who keeps their obligations like you keep yours.

And this is an FML... how? I personally would love to be rewarded with cookies.
