I was one of the mom's "screaming"! I'll never forget the first time someone said this to me. My brother was getting married in a few months, and I was going to be a bridesmaid. We had to go shopping for dresses. Suzanne, my oldest daughter, was about 9 months old. My (future) sister-in-law's sister and mother asked if my husband was "babysitting." I was honestly kind of shocked and replied, "um, no, he's watching his daughter." I was thinking the same thing you said. If my watching her during the day is "parenting" or "mothering", then why does he not have any responsibilities to do that? Babysitting implies 1) that you get paid and 2) that you get to leave when I come back. Ok, enough rant. Your post said it better than I could! Good job! Ok, Charlie. You got me.
