My mom's neighbor needed me to watch her 7 year-old son while she went out. And I was getting paid forty dollars to do it! I was so excited because this was my first baby-sitter's job. The little boy was named Stevie and his mom is April. April told me before she left to help myself to anything in the fridge. Now if someone tells you that, that means you're allowed to eat as much as you want. Two hours into the baby-sitting job I was polishing off the rest of the Lasagna I found in the fridge when Stevie asked me to watch a movie with him. I told him to get the hell out of the kitchen, I was busy! Some kids are so nosy. He then asked to be fed but I was in the middle of eating so I told him to wait. An hour later I was about to feed him- I just had to finish some cake I found along with Breyers Ice cream. I heard a smash and then heard Stevie crying. I walked into the living room to find Stevie holding his leg in pain- he had fallen off the couch. I screamed at him and told him he was

Stupid for falling like that and to stop screaming. An hour later April came back with her husband, and Stevie was still hurt and crying, claiming I didn't feed him and that he fell. April fired me and told me she refused to pay me because I was "irrisponsible" for not watching what Stevie was doing and for not feeding him. THEN She proceeded to curse me out for eating all the food in the fridge- Well I didn't eat it all- just he lasagna, some wings, orange juice, cake and some really good potato salad. I cursed at her and told her "You told me to fycking help myself!" I don't get it- why was I fired when I did what she asked me. She TOLD ME TO HELP MYSELF!!!

Why do you keep lieing? You are posting the same ridiculous tales over and over with the same description of yourself and your cast of characters, your relatives under this name and under Mrs. Sunshine. You are nothing but a lame and pathetic and lowly Board Troll! lol Did you think people are so stupid that would believe this crap? And that that we cannot put 2 and 2 together? You have been busted several times by several members already. Are you this desperate for attention? Is making fun of overweight people that important to you? You need to stop the lies and get a life! You are not funny or clever. Just sick and pathetic! Everyone: Read all of this posters questions and then also read Mrs. Sunshine's. Sad, very sad

I am pretty sure that if you have half a brain and you read what you just wrote you would know why you got fired. With your mouth alone I wouldn't let you watch my daughter and when you are watching a kid that is what you are supposed to be doing taking care of that child not stuffing your face with food. My god you must weigh a crap load if you eat like that all the time and you think you eating is more important than feeding a 7 year old. I am pretty confident in the fact that it wasn't the fact that you ate all the food I was probably the fact that you didn't stop stuffing your face long enough to actually watch the kid.

Are you serious? Go back and read what you wrote and I'm sure the answer just might pop out. When someone tells you to help yourself, they don't mean to polish off their leftovers completely. You were too busy eating to watch Stevie? You were being paid to watch him and play with him, not feed yourself. You screamed at Stevie because HE fell off the couch. Should you have been WATCHING him that wouldn't have happened. You don't sound very responsibile and I'm sure that it why you were fired. Taking care of a child is a HUGE responsibility and your obviously not qualified for the job.

Well first off, as an experienced babysitter I can tell you that your first priority is always the children you've been hired to watch. If they're hungry, you stop whatever you're doing and feed them.
I've always been told to help myself to food, but it's always polite just to have whatever the child is having or make a small meal without eating too much. Afterall, you didn't pay for it, the child's parents did. If you went through and cleaned out their fridge, that is pretty rude.
From a parent's eyes they're paying you to keep their child safe and happy, so if they come home and their son hasn't been fed and is miserable, they have every right to fire you. Next time remember that you're being paid to watch a child, not to eat and ignore the kid.

I assume this question is just a joke, in which case it's not particularly funny.
If you're serious, and don't see that YOU were the one responsible for getting fired, I hope it's a long time before you get another babysitting job, since you're obviously not responsible enough to take care of anyone.
Followup a little later: OK, I looked at your other questions, and see that you're just a troll, seeing how outrageous of questions you can ask.

Your first responsibility is to the child that your watching. If the child is hungry and wants to be fed, you feed the child. If the child wants to watch a movie, as long as it is age appropriate, let him watch it. If the child gets hurt, you need to do everything in your power to help the child get better. Your not there to do whatever you want and you can't blow the child off because your busy. It's not about what you want to do or what's best for you. It's about what's best for the child. From the sounds of what you said, it seems as though you were only there for the cash and not to help someone else out.

Honey, you are babysitting someone else. You are too focus all your attention on the child. You shouldn't have yelled at child and told him that were busy. You were susposed to feeding, playing with him, watch tv. I have 16 years of experience of daycare business. I see why the lady fired you. The next time you get an babysitted job, take responsibility and take care of the child.

well first of all, if you are watching a child (weither its yours, related to you in some way, or someone elses child) you put their priorities first, missy. dont tell a child to "get the hell out". and another, if a child is wanting to eat, feed them. your sitting there and feeding your face, why cant you get up and feed the child that your getting PAID to do? i only read 6 sentences of your question and already i can just say that is enough to fire you. if i left you with my child and he told me what you just did, i would fire you as i put my foot up your *** as you go out the door. apparently you dont have the responsibility to work, much less be left alone with a child.

Lmao!
If it is true, I'm glad you got fired. You are babysitting so you have to take care of the child your looking after. If he wants to eat something, let him. And don't scream at them because they will obviously tell on you.

Not only did you eat them out of house and home you were abusive and neglectful of their child, I dont care about points, you dont treat ANY child in this manner. Please dont have kids, you are a pitiful example of caretaker and role model.
