Today, my friend called saying she was gathering all her girlfriends for a girl's night out. I was thrilled with the idea and started to think of something to wear. She then asked if I would mind watching her son. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I hosted a family game night with her grandparents and her father, who was bringing his "friend" who he'd been dating for a couple of weeks. It was my mom. FML

Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML

Today, a girl I really liked mentioned she's home alone and that she was really really lonely. She offered for me to come over and watch a few movies with her, and as I got prepared to leave she sent me a text saying " can you pick up my friend Spencer? " 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

Today, my daughter's school was putting on a fashion show for charity and all the kids were supposed to ask their mothers to be in it. I asked my daughter about it and she said, "Well, I was going to ask you, but they said to only "ask all of your beautiful mommies." FML

Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML

Today, my best friend came over for dinner and a movie. Moments after arriving, she spent an hour on the phone, and ended up accepting another invitation before leaving. I guess it's dinner for one tonight. FML

Today, I went to my son's friend's birthday party and felt really proud of giving a great gift. It just so happened that I regifted the same gift that his friend's mother gave to my son the month before, because I forgot to check the name on the bag. It looked like she was about to faint. FML

I would let her know that you are not available. Apparently you are not one of her girlfriends so why should you do her a favour.

Oh that sucks. I have a "friend" who does the exact same thing. I just ignore it... just make sure she pays you what you are worth for babysitting... preferably more... :)

This means she trust you, honestly. I mean to ask someone to watch your kids, that means they must have great trust in you. Honestly, I wouldn't stress it. Perhaps she just thought you wouldn't like going out with her friends since maybe you don't know them, or maybe you gave her clues that you didn't like the club scene. In whatever, case, perhaps she'll take you out some other time! It doesn't mean you're ugly, or anything. She was just asking you to watch her kids, is all. That isn't so bad, and it probably means she trusts you more than any of those friends she might go out with.

Even if that were the case, it would still be rude of the friend to assume that OP wouldn't have wanted to go. She should have invited OP and left it up to her to accept or decline. The way she went about it suggests that she definitely didn't want to include OP in the outing, so I see why this would be an FML for her.

She wants to go out with her "fun" friends, you're her "responsible" friend. The good news is that she trusts you with her child; the bad news is "responsible" is a euphemism for "boring." I hope you get more than 12.5¢ an hour in the deal.

Everyones saying that it's good cos it means that she "trust" you, Soooooooooooooooooo why can't she hire a baby sitter or get her parents to look after her child anyway? Poor you.
