Babysitter and Kids: Bad babysitter

Bad babysitter

By cantprovenothing - 18/04/2014 21:31 - United States - Arlington

Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML

Today, I was babysitting. The kids were thirsty, so I poured them both a cup of the green juice I'd found in a jug in their fridge. They downed it in a flash. It wasn't until later on after I'd poured myself a cup and taken a sip, I realized I had given them margarita mix. The kids are 4 and 2. FML

Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

Today, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML

Today, I came home from work, only to find the babysitter passed out on the couch with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. At some point, it seems my son had taken the liberty of peeing on her while she slept. FML

Today, while babysitting, the oldest little girl who is 7 went through my purse. She pulled out a half empty bottle of lube. She asked what it was and I told her lotion. I went to the bathroom and when I came out, the bottle was empty and there were 4 kids covered in lube. Then their mom came home. FML

Today, while sleeping off my hangover, my niece asked me to get her a drink. I gave her a beer, I didn't notice it until it was gone. She is only 6 years old. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant with my son when he started to choke on his food. Panicked, I grabbed the closest drink I could reach and made him gulp it down. Only when I received tons of dirty looks from people at other tables did I realize I had given him beer. My son is 8. FML

Today, I was looking in the refrigerator for something to drink. I found a jug of lemonade with a piece of paper on it saying "Mom's Lemonade, Don't Drink!" I was really thirsty, so I ignored it and drank the whole jug. My mom is about to have a colonoscopy and had filled it with laxatives. FML

Today, I accidentally filled the lemonade machine with margarita mix that already had the tequila mixed in. It was served to three kids before anyone figured it out. FML

Today, I was packing my son's lunch and we'd ran out of water bottles. I asked my 16 year-old to run to the store. She didn't want to, but gave me one she had. After dropping my son off, my daughter frantically told me she'd made a mistake. I sent my second grader to school with a bottle of vodka. FML

That could actually be dangerous. You need to pay attention or find another line of work.

I completely agree OP should of been more careful...but what are parents doing leaving the house with nothing for their kid to drink? OP def should of gone with water instead but maybe the alcohol shouldn't of been so easily accessible?! OP that child could of died of alcohol poisoning! Def find a new job!

I find it very hard to believe that the house didn't have any running water.

I know it is really horrible but i think you should have told the parents in case there are problems or consequences as a result of her drinking.

At 9 years old that child will probably rat you out, I know my 9 year old would mention it the next time she saw that drink somewhere. You could have cause his or her small liver permanent damage, and the smart thing to do would have been to seek medical treatment the very moment you realized your mistake, just to make sure the child is ok.

Why didn't you just give her water?

To the WATER commenters, have you all ever heard of JUICE or MILK for kids? Most kids do NOT like to drink water! Get real!

YOU should get real. Kids shouldn't dislike drinking wate, it's WATER for god's sake. It's the thing you should drink when you're thirsty, not juice. Water is the most natural thing to drink, juice and milk aren't. Why would anyone want to teach their kids that they don't have to drink water?

Most kids like drinking water when the parents actually give them water instead of juice. The only kids who don't like water are kids who's parents only give them juice.
