Kids: What a massive clock

What a massive clock

By Rhianna - 22/11/2009 04:05 - Australia

Today, I was babysitting my younger brother while my parents were away. I turned my back on my brother for one minute and then I heard a huge crash from their room. He had somehow destroyed a family heirloom and 200 year-old clock. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

The blame game

Today, my brother got mad at me for breaking the screen on his phone. He'd already dropped it so many times that the whole screen was cracked to the point that you couldn't see anything on it, but for some reason, I am fully responsible for its destruction because I accidentally delivered the finishing blow.

Today, I found out that while I was on vacation my neighbor had let my brother into my apartment. I don't have a brother. FML

Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML

Today, I proudly put on display the custom clock I'd spent 3 months building from scratch. It struck the hour and promptly fell off the wall, breaking my wife’s antique vase that she'd inherited from her great nana. FML

Today, I rushed home after my mom called saying our upstairs had flooded. Apparently, my little brother somehow broke the toilet while unsupervised and water overflowed everywhere. It even reached my closet, shoes, and books, and everything touching my floor in my room is now wet. FML

Today, I slept through my alarm and decided to call in sick. After falling back asleep, I woke up to my younger brother robbing my kitchen. It seems he's been doing this for weeks, every time I leave for work. He won't even give it all back. FML

Today, I yelled at my little brother for leaving the toilet seat up and told him he needed to go around the house and make sure they were all down. I went to the bathroom later to find that the toilet seats and covers from every toilet had all been removed and were sitting on my bed. FML

Today, after storing it for a year, driving it 750 miles to a new home, and waiting a week for a wall mount to come in, I was ready to hang the hand-painted, decorative window my brother gave me. The chain snapped as I picked it up and it shattered when it hit the floor. FML

Today, my son got to my great grandfather's old stopwatch, which had been valued at a very high sum, and broke it by twisting the hands in reverse. He says he was trying to time travel. FML

The door should've been shut, perhaps even locked. BTW, your brother's an idiot.

You're jerk, 7. Good job for trying to be funny, but making an extremely offensive comment instead.

You turned your back for just one minute, hm? Were you right by your parents' room at the time, or are you just using a cliche to make us more sympathetic? How did you not hear him running off?

Kids can do a lot in the one minute they are unsupervised. When I was 4 my mother went to the kitchen while I was in the living room with my little brother (the kitchen and living room are adjacent to each other) and we decided that it would be a good idea to climb up the TV. The TV fell, we managed to get out of the way in time not to be killed and the TV was not damaged.

Maybe you need Chris Brown to come over there, I'm sure he can straighten the kid up.

Turn your back for one minute? Something about that seems a little BS, and you're making an attempt to act like you had been watching him nonstop... which is likely a lie. YDI.

Ah, younger siblings....they exist to make their older siblings' lives a living hell....my little sister used to steal food all the time and I was always blamed for it, even thought the evidence was clearly in my sister's teeth. And my parents wonder why she's over 200 lbs. now and I'm at a healthy 140. And to people who don't believe 1 minute is long enough to cause havoc, I'm sure you either don't have young siblings of your own, haven't ever babysat, or both. 1 minute is all a kid needs in order to cause trouble. It doesn't take long to wander into one room and knock something down.

Umm, I'm a middle sibling. And I'll tell ya, both Younger siblings AND older siblings are pain in the ass! The older sibling get more priveleges cuz they're more "responsible" and the younger sibling get's more care cuz you know, they're younger. You know what I get? Nothin :[

You have a roof over your head with food. Stop complaining about nothing.

FYL. You shouldn't have to watch kids every second once they are past a certain age. And there's and age when kids should know not to touch stuff... These two ages usually are fairly close together. Totally not OP's fault.
