Kids: Today, while babysitting, I brought over some colouring-in sheets...

Today, while babysitting, I brought over some colouring-in sheets as an activity. I said that I should bring some Christmas-themed ones for next time. The little girl then turned to me and said "If there is a next time." I've been put on probation by an 8-year-old. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 5-year-old girl and we were coloring. She made me a card that was very sweet, so I smiled. She looked at me and went "Don't smile, your smile is really scary." FML

Today, I had to babysit my 7-year-old niece while my brother bought Christmas presents. After he left, she walked up to me and said in a very dark voice, "I'm gonna make you hate children!" Now my apartment looks like a bomb site. FML

Today, I was babysitting. Everything was going well until the kid called 911 on me for making him eat his vegetables. FML

You had to ask

By hii - 01/03/2009 20:29 - United States

Today, I was babysitting a one year-old. She'd just learned how to say yes, so if you asked her ANYTHING, she'd say yes. I asked her if she liked vegetables and she said, "Yes!" Then I asked her if I was pretty. She looked at me and said, "NO." FML

Today, while babysitting a girl, I told her to be quiet so she wouldn't wake her little brother. In reply, she told me that she would kill me, wake her brother up to show him my dead body, then draw all over my face. I'm stuck with her for another two hours. FML

Today, the 8 year old that I babysit every week told me that it was sad that I didn't have a boyfriend while he has a girlfriend. I got burned by a 3rd grader. FML

Brat era

By bastards - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - Netherlands - Den Haag

Today, I babysat the brattiest and most foul-mouthed 8-year-old I've ever met. After I survived three hours of it, his parents finally came home. He claimed I'd invited a boy over and that we did "stuff" on the couch all evening. They believed him. I didn't get paid, to say the least. FML

Today, I was asked to babysit for a family that attends the daycare I work at. All of my coworkers warned me that they were rough kids but I shrugged it off. As soon as the parents left, the 7-year-old girl said, "Oh good now I can focus on death and my plans". FML

Today, I babysat an 11 year old kid while his parents ate out. As soon as they left, the kid asked me if I wanted to be on the sex offender's list. Before I could even process that, he told me to stay out of his way and he wouldn't accuse me of anything. FML

Why are you listening to an 8 year old?

I'm sure the 8-year-old is the one in charge of hiring babysitters. Who cares what she says?

YDI for babysitting, for bringing coloring sheets, and for not realizing that when she said "if there is a next time", it was a death threat and not a mere job probation.

The kid is 8. They don't have filters at that age and just say exactly what they are thinking without ulterior motives. If she was making a threat she'd be way more blunt and say things like "I don't like you and I am going to ask my mom to fire you."

I don't know if it's just me, but by the age of 8 I was already taught how to filter things I say. Maybe I just have strict parents who over-obsessed with always saying the correct things.

You fail. Appropriate response: "Oh, your right. I forgot. If I murder you and bury your body in the backyard, I won't have to come back to this festering crap-hole you call a house. Now go to bed, I need to sharpen my axe."
