Today, the three-year-old I was babysitting asked me where my boyfriend was. I told her he was at his house. I'm twenty and single. I lied to a three year old to make myself look less pathetic. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the 8 year old that I babysit every week told me that it was sad that I didn't have a boyfriend while he has a girlfriend. I got burned by a 3rd grader. FML
Today, I was babysitting a five year-old boy. Somehow the topic of relationships came up, and he asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I told him that I was single, he got all excited and asked if he could be my boyfriend. It would have been cute… except he was the first guy to ever ask me out. I'm 18. FML
Today, while babysitting, the little boy explained to me why I was single, reasons such as 'unattractive' and 'not the girlfriend type'. I cried. FML
Today, I'm 19 years old and, having never been on a date, I agreed to let my friend set me up. He was adorable, young, with blond hair and blue eyes...and 4 years old. My friend tricked me into babysitting. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mother invited me to her 18th birthday. She lied about her age. I have been screwing a minor for 2 years. FML
Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. FML
Today, I was babysitting a boy who was 11 years old. He told me that he loved me and wanted to be my boyfriend. I told him that I think he is a really great kid but I'm 17 so it would never work out. He said okay. When his parents came home he told them that I hit him and started crying. FML
Today, I went to an elementary school for volunteer work. I was asked to read to a group of kids during one of the classes. Before I started reading, a girl raised her hand and asked me if I had a boyfriend and if I was single. I asked her why and she said "My daddy wanted to know." I'm 16. FML
Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wouldn't say you are pathetic, because part of me can see why you would lie to a 3 year old as they are soo full of interesting questions. Although, you could have been hit with questions regardless of what your answer was. The fact that you are 20 and single does not make you pathetic at all. To those saying she is a bad babysit, how is this lie actually going to harm the child. It is not like the OP went into a rant with the kid that anyone who is 20 and single is a loser and that you have to have someone to be complete, etc..... Who knows, maybe the kid the OP was babysitting is a boy and he has a crush on her and that is why he asked....

Being 20 and single isn't pathetic. It just means you're not a ****, and you're waiting for the right guy to date! :) I say, cheers to that!

Oh, and don't listen to #53... clearly she wants a different kind of lifestyle than you do.

you all have to realize, though, if you told a kid that young that you were single or something you weren't proud of, then he/she will probably go blab it to someone else/their parents. that's when it's really embarrassing.

don't worry, I know exactly how you feel, I'm 16 and I was babysitting a four year old one night and she was telling me all about her little boyfriend and then when she asked me about mine I just had to make something up.
