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.

Plus I hope they call the authorities on you for child abuse, neglect, and endangerment. I have a young child and I despise irresponsible asshats that cover up their dumbass move like you.

My son is 6 and I am 3 months pregnant. If something like this happened to my son or future child, you bet there would be hell to pay

Okay, I'm sure OP isn't a retard. The kid probably spat it out if it had a lot of alcohol in it, and no, the little bit that was inevitably swallowed will not be enough to cause harm to the kid unless she had an allergy, in which case the reaction would be pretty noticeable. Putting her to bed was probably to cover up brushing her teeth, not to cover up her passing out. Depending on where the drinks were, it might be excusable. If the parents didn't have any other drinks in the fridge, then they don't sound like the type of parents to lock up or otherwise hide their alcohol. If I opened the fridge and saw cans of assorted fruit juices, I would probably think "Oh, these people like this brand" not "I bet these are all booze." I also would never give a person unfiltered tap water. You'd be surprised what is in the water in some areas. If the drink was Spanish (not Mexican) it would fall under EU regulations, and if it was less than 1.2% alcohol (not hard liquor, but OP doesn't seem to know his/her alcohol) then it doesn't have to give the alcohol percent by volume. If it was Guatemala, Peru, Costa Rica, or Belize, then it doesn't have to have alcohol content at all. I think all of those still have to have the word "alcohol" somewhere on it, but OP probably wasn't skimming through the Spanish looking for it. It might not have even been Spanish, we don't know how well OP knows other languages. In other languages it could be alcool or alcol, neither of which look suspicious unless they're written in huge letters. I think this needs a follow-up.
