Today, trying to pocket a little extra cash for himself, my dad responded to multiple babysitting ads on Craigslist, accepting them all on my behalf. I despise children with all my heart. FML

Today, I babysat a 9-year-old kid for the first time. The moment his parents left the house, the little shit looked me dead in the eyes and let me know that if I didn't let him do whatever he wanted, he'd tell his parents that I touched him in his "no-no place". Suddenly I hate kids. FML

Today, I babysat the Antichrist of all kids. After the 5 long hours were over, his parents came home. Instead of paying me what they agreed, they offered to let me eat some leftovers of a takeout in the fridge. I'm so afraid of confrontation that I accepted. FML

Today, as an agency babysitter, I was sent to babysit “Satan’s evil twin.” This kid is so bad, the dad pays additional fees to the agency for every time he damages the sitter's personal items, or if they require a hospital visit. His advice was, "Don’t be afraid to hit him back or he will take your eyes." FML

Today, a lady chased me through the mall because I wouldn’t babysit her kid while she shopped. I hate kids and don’t babysit, especially random ones, and especially not for free. FML

Today, I babysat a kid who was such a bratty little prick that I actually considered walking out on the job. After his mom finally got home 4 hours later, he called her a slut. When he got in trouble for it, he claimed that I taught him the word. Needless to say, I didn't get paid. FML

Today, I found out that when my room-mate agreed to babysit someone's two year old kid for money, what he really planned on doing was dumping it with me. The kid won't stop crying and screaming. FML

Today, at work I had to handle two selfish parents returning their adopted 6 year-old daughter to foster care because, “She doesn’t, like, fit with our lifestyle, and my mom is, like, too old to babysit her anymore and we, like, can’t afford a nanny.” I hate my job. FML

Today, my babysitter told me to find a replacement, so I tried to bribe her into staying by offering her a raise. She told me that the money would be better spent on an exorcist. FML

Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him.

Also being kidnapped sucks. Make sure he comes with you to meet them.

On the bright side, you're going to be loaded now. You don't have to give your dad a single PENNY of the money YOU earned.

You sound like a jerk. Who picks a general group of people and decides to hate them? And weren't we all children at one point? Did you despise yourself? Lol ur an ass and obviously karmas come around. Deserved it!

She probably just doesn't get along well with them. Some people just don't know how to handle the ball full of energy and silliness that is a kid. Don't judge people on the internet and call them names, because you have no idea who they are or what their reasons are.

I personally love kids, but some people just don't get along with them well. Just like how some people hate dogs or chocolate or Apple products. It really isn't that hard to comprehend that we all have different preferences. Whatever. The real question is, who looks for a babysitter on Craigslist??

I don't get why people hate children when they were children themselves once.

It depends on the kid you are babysitting for, their age and their parent's parenting style. I agree 5 and younger can be hectic but you don't have to hate them.
