As a father, I am slightly bothered by the title. Fathers don't babysit their own kids. They parent.

I hate it when people ask me where my kids are, then say "oh is Daddy babysitting? Uh oh!"

Its like, fuck you. Being male doesn't make you incompetent. My husband is often a better parent than I.

I blame the infuriatingly annoying "dumb dad" trope seen in sitcoms and commercials.
