peeved December 29 2005
I have a pet peeve, shocking I know. My pet peeve involves husband and fathers that refer to the act of caring for their children without the presents of a mother, “BABYSITTING”.
Guys? You CANNOT BABYSIT YOUR OWN CHILDREN!
It’s called PARENTING!
or
DOING YOUR SHARE!
When I’M not working and am at home with my children do I call it babysitting? I am a stay at home babysitter? NOOOOO mostly cause I do not get paid for it and their father doesn’t drive me home, drunk as a skunk.
If people see me out without my kids..”Chris babysitting tonight?”
It makes me (almost) angry. NO HE IS NOT BABYSITTING! There are no additional children involved..the neighbours did not drop their kids off. He is at home for the evening with his kids. NOT BABYSITTING. Parenting.
so there.
I agree 200%! Men!!!
dude. I hear you.
Yeah, but if you are out without your kids, don’t you feel guilty pawning your job off on Chris? Poor buy. I think if women had to work as hard as men, there’d be alot more appreciation for how easy women have it.
