I understand what you’re saying, and that is somewhat true, BUT I still say you’re painting with too broad a brush. Maybe you have refined your statement to VOLUNTEERING?
I know a handful of men, and a couple when they were teenagers, who were excellent babysitters because they were the eldest boy in a fairly large family. They grew up to be excellent fathers.
As I said, too broad a brush.
I agree to disagree with you if that’s what you wish. You won’t convince me otherwise from my opinion. One of the men that I refer to is my oldest brother, who was one of the best men this world has ever seen, and who I recently lost. Your statement attempts to make my big brother into a pervert, which he was NOT.
It is difficult to get my point across in 100 words sound bites. I am not talking about siblings babysitting for other siblings. I am not talking about relatives. I am not talking about a situation where a man has a specific connection to an activity, like a dad whose kids are now grown. I am talking about elementary schools who allow into their facilities men who have no such connections. If I had first graders and found out that’s such a man was in their classroom, I would go nuclear on the school. As far as babysitters; Do you know any males who are itching to babysit little kids who are not their relatives?
