Haircut, Babysitter and Kids: Don't take your eye off the ball

Don't take your eye off the ball

Today, I took a nap while babysitting my neighbor's kids for the day. I was woken up by an obnoxious sound, only to find the youngest kid holding scissors in one hand, a pony tail of hair stuck down in his shorts, jumping around like a horse. Oh, and a semi-bald patch on the back of my head. FML

Today, I babysat my neighbour's spoilt bratty twins. When I told them it was their bed time, they pushed me over. One then started smashing me with a plastic sword, and as I lay helpless on the floor the other one peed on me. I got owned by two five year olds. FML

Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML

Today, I was napping when my little brother cut off huge chunks of my hair. He thought it would turn me into the older brother he always wanted. He's 8. FML

Today, my 4-year-old son cut half of my hair when I was asleep because he thought I would look better that way. FML

Today, I was knocked unconscious by the 10 year-old I was babysitting because it was his younger sister's bedtime and he didn't want her to go. When I came to, their mother was screaming at me for sleeping on the job. In the middle of the kitchen floor. I lost a job and gained a killer headache. FML

Today, I was babysitting my co-worker's son. He was eating Jell-o and spilled it on his top, so I pulled off his PJ's, and went in his room to grab a new pair. I heard a thunk and ran to find him out cold on the floor. His parents walked in on me trying to wake up their naked 3 year-old. FML

Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML

Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML

Don't nap while babysitting. You got off cheap. The kid could have got hold of a lighter and decided to play barbeque with the couch. You're paid to watch them. Sleep on your own time.

Wow, that sucks. But if you're being paid to watch the kids, then you should be watching them, not sleeping.

This is why you never fall asleep while watching kids. It can only lead to problems. YDI for falling asleep on the job. You aren't being paid to sleep.

My parents would have given me an ass kicking and fired you for sleeping while watching me. I hope it turned out this way.

If someone touches my hair in a harming way I flip shit. I would probably scream my head off and lock the kid in his room until he cries himself to sleep.

Wtf is wrong with all of you? How did she "deserve" a bald spot on the back of her head? The punishment doesn't fit the crime. She probably assessed that the kids weren't going to cause too much of a ruckus and therefore took a nap. It's not that hard to understand.

I think she should stop complaining because she got off easy with just a bald spot. Does no one remember the babysitter who fell asleep and awoke to two drowned kids? It was all over the news. Don't sleep while you're babysitting, that's not what you're paid for!
