Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML

Tell his parents they owe you a new phone, and that their son is a little shit.

Sucks but be a cool babysitter. That's all it takes.

u got pwned by a kid probably half ur age fyl

I don't see this as a FML. It's more of a FML to the kids parents who will be buying you a new phone. Hopefully you have a expensive one so the parents teach there kids to control themselves.

Well first of all, if you hadn't been 'pretending' to get the kid in trouble for not listening to you this wouldn't have happened. If you're babysitting, you're supposed to be the one in charge. You deserve it for allowing yourself to be bullied by a child that still needs a sitter. This boy isn't your brother, and the fact that you find it necessary to try and tattle on him instead of exercising the authority you're supposed to possess in this position only goes to show that you shouldn't be watching anyone's children.

I agree with #152, but also want to add: OP, please don't ever have children yourself since you don't seem to be able to handle them and they will grow up to be little brats like the one you're babysitting.

okay, obviously this girl is young. she said she tried to get them out but the kid did not listen. you can't force a kid out with words if he isn't used to listening to his guardians, because if he acted this way toward her now then it definitely was not the first time he misbehaved.. and sdras, saying she shouldn't have children just because the kid has parents that let him get to this point, doesn't mean she shouldn't have kids. again- she's young, and kids who are brought up being allowed to be brats does not make it her fault and does not mean she should not have kids when shes older.

You're right, you can't force children with words. Or in this case, threats. You can however, walk yourself into the pool, take the child's hand, and lead them out of the pool. You have no idea how old the OP is. It's entirely possible she's well into her twenties. Children act completely different with sitters than they do with their parents, as is obviously the case here or the OP would not have thought telling the father would make any difference. Parents make boundaries extremely clear, the OP obviously has not.
