Alcohol, Babysitter and Kids: Whoops

Whoops

By smth - 06/07/2009 02:39 - United States

Today, I was babysitting. The kids were thirsty, so I poured them both a cup of the green juice I'd found in a jug in their fridge. They downed it in a flash. It wasn't until later on after I'd poured myself a cup and taken a sip, I realized I had given them margarita mix. The kids are 4 and 2. FML

Bad babysitter

Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML

Today, I accidentally filled the lemonade machine with margarita mix that already had the tequila mixed in. It was served to three kids before anyone figured it out. FML

Today, I really had to pee while babysitting. Normally this isn't a problem, except the kids were sleeping and going potty would wake them up right before their parents were due home. Desperate, I decided to pee in a cup in the kitchen and wash it down the sink. Their parents came home mid-stream. FML

Today, my daughter ran up to me and gave me a cup. She said it was lemonade that she made with her friend. When I took a sip, she giggled and ran back to her room. It was not lemonade. FML

Today, someone drank a sip of my single serve pasteurized orange juice and put it back in the fridge, ignoring the whole jug of non-pasteurized juice, that I cant drink because im pregnant. I cried. FML

Today, while babysitting, the oldest little girl who is 7 went through my purse. She pulled out a half empty bottle of lube. She asked what it was and I told her lotion. I went to the bathroom and when I came out, the bottle was empty and there were 4 kids covered in lube. Then their mom came home. FML

Tasty

Today, while babysitting, I made the kids and myself peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When their parents came home, their dad took out the same container of peanut butter I had used and let their dog lick out of it. FML

Today, I came home from work, only to find the babysitter passed out on the couch with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. At some point, it seems my son had taken the liberty of peeing on her while she slept. FML

Today, I was looking in the refrigerator for something to drink. I found a jug of lemonade with a piece of paper on it saying "Mom's Lemonade, Don't Drink!" I was really thirsty, so I ignored it and drank the whole jug. My mom is about to have a colonoscopy and had filled it with laxatives. FML

Today, I was at a buffet with my kids and husband. As my boys got up to get more food, I told them they'd better come back with something green on their plate. They both came back with mint ice cream and got a high-five from my husband. FML

I think that would kind of be the parent's fault. If the kids are that young they shouldn't just have it sitting in the fridge. Though, it is partially OP's fault also. Who gives kids random green juice from the fridge? Shouldn't you have at least tasted it first?

Just the liqueur? Um, even if it was liqueur, there'd still be booze in it?

Yeeeaaahh if it was just mix, it didn't have any booze in it. And margarita mix is delicious!

margarita mix is essentially non-alcoholic (ie less than 0.5% alcohol by volume) so hopefully the little kiddys wont get smashed :D. However that being said, its probably a good idea making sure to know what you are serving to the little kiddies

i agree with 54 and others like it. it was a mix, not an alcoholic beverage. if it had been, depending on how much you gave them, the 2 year old probably would have passed out first and you would have had to call 911. might you have confused that with simply falling asleep? take this as a lesson BE CAREFUL!!

What? No one knows what lime-ade or koolaid is? How does green juice translate into 'mystery' juice! Also, who LABELS the juice jug! So everytime you make a different juice you change the label? Waste of time much?

This.....Is probably the most logical comment I've read in regards to people getting all up in arms about the OP not paying attention or reading labels on unmarked jugs. That in itself is a mystery to me. How the hell is the OP supposed to read a label that isn't there, and why is it her fault that the parents chose not to label it or give a heads up? Its a jug, meant to hold consumable liquid, sitting in the main refrigerator in the parents' house. It's not mystery juice, it's not alien blood, or is it some secret potion meant to bestow upon its drinker the power cosmos. It's juice that is perfectly safe for human consumption. The OP made a perfectly reasonable assumption that the parents wouldn't leave unmarked liquid death in their fridge.

How can all these people say that you deserve it for not checking first?! Have you never heard of green kool aid?! Who honestly expects to find a jug of margarita in the fridge unless the parents are drunks.
