Thanks for the help

Today, I found out that while my sister can somehow manage to keep an eye on and control her three preschool-aged children at the park, making sure nobody steals my dog from right beside her is just too big of a job. FML

Today, I called my sister and asked if she could watch my baby while I went to the store for desperately needed groceries and supplies. She refused, despite the fact that she's randomly dropped off her three rambunctious boys more times than I could count so she could go clubbing. FML

Doggy dog world

Today, I agreed to care for my girlfriend’s sister's dog. She assured us that the dog was housetrained, but when I got home from work at 07:00 AM my girlfriend was sleeping and there was not only one “accident” but five. This is going to be a fun weekend. FML

Today, I found the Facebook album my sister took with her kids by the pool and out on boats while back in our hometown. My problem? I'm our dad's carer since his stroke and she had planned the trip as a mission to help me take care of him, but due to her kids being "sick", she only visited briefly. Twice. In 5 weeks. FML

Today, I'm babysitting three children under the age of seven. They have no discipline, don't listen, scream all the time, won't nap, terrorize my dog, and have peed their pants a collective 5 times today. I am not getting paid for this. Their mother has no plans to come get them any time soon. FML

Family day

Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML

Today, despite the fact that I'm really sick, my mom insisted that I come home and help babysit my cousins this weekend. When I got there, everyone else took off to do "errands," leaving me with three hyperactive, howler monkey-like children to deal with. FML

Poor good boy

Today, after an emergency, my sister’s kids had to spend the night at my house. While I was asleep, they absolutely trashed my place top to bottom. In the morning my sister came in, said, “Wow, what a mess! Bye!” without offering to help clean up or make her kids do it. They drew on my dog. FML

Today, I took my child to the park. Having been there an hour, another mum came up to me and we started talking. She then told me that one kid had been harassing her children, pointing to my child. When she asked which one was mine I pointed to a random kid. It was hers. FML

Today, I was told at my babysitting job that I can't bring my toddler with me. My employer is my best friend. Now I have to find a babysitter for my kid if I want to babysit hers. FML

Shackled

By Merserve - 09/07/2020 02:00

Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

That's so sad for the dog, but I would struggle to look after all that at once....

You sent someone being responsible for THREE preschoolers off with an extra life-form to watch after?!? You are clueless.

Expecting her to watch your dog, as well as three small children is a bit much...

Sad about your dog, but let's be real... Her kids would have come first

Who the hell steals a dog?

and what does "under her care" mean, dummy? for all we know the dog was at the park without a leash. so it very well could've just taken off.

come on... would you rather have one of the kids disappear?! The dog is no priority!

Erm, I would say that pets are still A priority. I'm not saying it would be BETTER for one of the children to go missing, but OP is still perfectly entitled to be upset at the loss of his precious pet, regardless of blame.

All you "dogs are not important" people are ******* idiots and I hope you get hit by a truck. If you agree to care for a living being, you make that being a priority, it doesn't have to be your #1, but it is still your responsibility. If you had sent your child to spend the afternoon with your sister, and the kid went missing, I doubt people would be saying "FOUR kids?! What's wrong with you thinking someone could handle FOUR kids?!?" She didn't make a choice between her kids and the dog. She agreed to watch the dog, and failed.
