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, the guy whose son I babysat for six hours straight confessed to being broke, then actually asked if he could pay me with sex instead. 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.

If it's even really for babysitting. Your dad may have set you up to be murdered.

I hate when people think that children are perfect little angels and can do no wrong so everyone MUST love them. Get over yourself.

Yeah, her dad's an asshole who plans to force her to do something she doesn't want to do, for people who post ads on Craigslist to watch their kids for ****'s sake, so HE can get "free money" off the deal. I can't imagine why she's got a bad opinion of kids and probably family life in general. I'm sure good parents are perfectly fine hiring random strangers off the Internet to take care of their well-raised and beloved children. Good parents are equally willing to send their beloved children to the homes of random strangers they found on the Internet in order to make a quick buck. For the cranially-impaired among you, that's sarcasm. Poor kid probably isn't even old enough to drive yet. I'll bet the dad intends to drop her off and collect the money up front. He'll also wonder why she moves out of the house the day she turns 18 and never calls or comes to visit him after that.

Wtf? Children are not just some random object. This is actually quite disturbing. The parents of these children do not fully understand the true nature of this situation. I would say that puts their safety at risk. And by the way, your dad just pimped you out!
