Who leaves their kids with a male babysitter?

I recently babysat my grandson, 6. I also raised my daughter, alone, from the age of 19 months to adulthood.

Back when the kids were little I loved going to the parks and the nature trails to play with them and watch them. Being the only man there was aggravating I’m sure, as I let my kids do stuff the moms wouldn’t. (Like climb up on the top of the structure, jump off, play in the mud, etc.) Of course the other kids would want to join in, with their moms saying no. Once in awhile some mom would let their kids join in.

Often some mom would say “Oh - you have baby sitting duty today?”

“Um, no. I’m their dad.”

I’d also bring their friends along too on occasion - but those “play dates” were usually for my wife and the other moms so they could hang out together.
