Today, I realized why I was hired to be a nanny. Apparently the husband had eyes for the last nanny. According to the wife I am not attractive enough to be a threat. FML

Today, I started my new job. Less than one hour into the day, my boss told me that the reason he hired me was that I was the least attractive of everyone he interviewed, so I'd be less likely to cause a distraction. FML

Today, a very attractive man asked me out. I'd have been flattered if I weren't the nurse assigned to his laboring wife. FML

Today, I found out that the reason I'm working as a kitchen staff instead of out on the floor of the café is because the boss does not think I'm attractive enough. My boss is my brother. FML

Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML

Suspicious Minds

Today, I finally found out why my wife always told me to never visit her at work. You see, my wife and I are dark haired with blue/brown eyes and our daughter is blonde with very striking emerald green eyes. You know who else is blonde with striking emerald eyes? My wife’s boss. FML

Today, I overheard my husband of 3 years talking to our boss, an attractive blonde. She was telling him that she couldn't believe he was with me. She thinks I'm fat and ugly and that he's hot. He said, "She's not that bad…" We work in the same store and she follows him around like a puppy. 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

Why doesn't she just leave him? She can't keep him away from the attractive female population forever, so what's the point of continuing the relationship if she has to go to these measures just to keep him somewhat faithful?

Now you should do everything you can do sleep with the husband, just to get back at the wife. That'll show her.

I thought God gave us ugly women so that trophy wives won't have to worry about their husband straying with the nanny?

Trophy wives are the catch, while the 'nanny' should be the real wife. The husband should be allowed to have a hot wife to make himself happy. The nanny shouldn't exist, it's a wife's job to do the housework.

The wife probably decided not to leave him because the kids... They hired a nanny they must have kids or they would have hired a cleaning service to do all of their shit

At least you have a ******* job. Quit complaining. I was laid off almost three months ago and I can't even find a job sweeping floors.

That isn't why she was hired. She was hired because the wife thought that her husband wouldn't "have eyes" for her, as he did with the previous nanny. That can mean anything. He could be attracted to blondes, OP could be a brunette. She could be short, he could be attracted to tall women. It doesn't mean that she's ugly, nor does it mean that they think she's ugly. It just means that she's not his type. And for that, I don't feel sorry for her, because no one is everyone's type. I also don't understand why this an FML because who would want their boss to be attracted to them? Especially when your job is to take care of their children?
