“...heading home to babysit.”
I always told folks when they would say that I was “babysitting” - “No. I’m not babysitting. I’m their dad.” (Just a small button of mine. More of an educational response than an anger one).
Yeah - weird about the wife “trusting” you with the child. However, if I was home with the kids and another mom wanted to bring their child over, I was always very clear that I was at home with the kids, and mom was out. As I understood the way society is with men and children. Even at the park I would get a bit uneasy whening another kid would join my kids playing with me. (I would be the only adult playing, while the moms were all chatting).
The benefits of working from home!
Used to be a time when fathers never watched their baby being born.
