Kids: Today, the girl I was babysitting was being disrespectful to...

Today, the girl I was babysitting was being disrespectful to me, so I took away her stuffed animal and told her that she couldn't have it back until she apologized. She ended up sneaking onto my laptop and deleting all the pictures I'd saved from my recent vacation to Europe. FML

Today, my little sister got mad at me because I wouldn't let her read my IM conversation. I took a nap and when I woke up, my laptop was gone. She took it on a trip to her grandparents' house, six hours away. Nude pictures of me and my paper due tomorrow are on the laptop. FML

Today, I was babysitting a really bratty little girl. She came and cuddled up on the couch so I took it as an apology. I feel asleep while she was sitting with me and when I woke up she had peed on me. She locked herself in her room and was laughing about peeing on me for discipling her. FML

Today, I babysat a 10 year old from hell. She kept insulting me, saying I have tiny boobs, that boys must hate me, and that I'm ugly. I eventually got fed up and put her to bed. When her parents came back, she ran out of her room in tears and told them I'd beaten her. They believed it. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 7 year-old brat. He refused to eat his vegetables, so I forbade him from playing until they were finished. He stomped off upstairs, so I let him cool off for a couple of minutes. When I went upstairs, he had taken scissors to all of his mother's clothes. FML

Today, I invited my mom over for lunch so we could discuss how she broke my trust while she last babysat for me, and that as a result she won’t be babysitting for a little while. She then yelled at me and told me I was being disrespectful and dramatic. FML

Precious little boy

Today, I woke up from a nap to find my little brother playing some games on my phone. A few hours later I come to find he had deleted all 500 pictures from my trip to Europe last month. He needed more space to download the games. Mom says he's too young to understand what he did wrong. He's 14. FML

Today, a teenage girl with a selfie stick came into my workplace. She knocked down multiple displays while trying to take pictures, before leaving without making a purchase. I had to clean it all up. FML

Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. FML

Today, while babysitting a young girl, I put on the movie Bambi, as she told me it was her favorite movie. I didn't know that her parents always skipped the scene where Bambi's mom dies. Despite my attempts to comfort her, she was still upset when her parents returned. Her mom blamed me. FML

Today, my mother thought it would be okay to take my camera and erase all of my pictures that included my graduation, party, and my sisters wedding. Her excuse? "We need more room for Katie's birthday." Katie is our pet cat. FML

You shouldn't have left your laptop and babysitee unattended. It's your responsibility to watch what she's doing.

I've never met a little kid who knew how to delete pictures on a computer, intentionally. smart kid. the parents should be proud.

It might still be in OPs Recycling Bin. And even if it's not, there are ways to bring back a file from the Recycling Bin. When the file is deleted - from what I know, the file is still there, but the pointer to the file is deleted. OP needs to find some recovery software and it might work. On another note - that really does suck. Next time OP should back up important things in case it gets into the hands of people like that girl. Or just as a general practice.

Unfortunately, recovery software prices start at about $70, and there is none free anywhere, at all. :S. Which sucks unless you're rich or you really badly need the stuff.

You left your laptop with a little brat, who by the way was already being disrespectful, where you couldn't watch? You so deserve it.

I agree, I doubt a kid that requires a babysitter has the know how to TOTALLY delete the pictures from the comp even if they emptied the recycle bin.

I agree with this as well, It's the OP's fault that those pictures are now gone. Whenever I bring my laptop with me somewhere, it's stuck to me like an extra appendage. You can't trust most people.

Well is it was a recent holiday so chances are they were only recently uploaded and OP had not yet had time to back them up anyway! Moral of this story is, if a little kid bugs you, just chain it up, then all your problems are solved! (Just threaten them into saying they love you)

With so many auto sync problems available not backing up stuff automatically is weird but not as weird as not locking your laptop while away to prevent stuff like this

the kid was probably being disrespectful because she wanted some attention. an alternative path to the removal of her 'security blanket' (favourite stuffed toy) could have been to read her a book, put on a children's tv show and watch it with her, play hide and seek or some other game. kids generally misbehave because they're bored and want some attention. why would you want to fight a kid? just give her a bit of attention. if you can't do that, you suck as a baby-sitter.
