The fathers saying “Dads don’t babysit”
“Aww, it’s so nice of you to babysit and give mom a break.”
“I guess you got stuck with the kids today.”
“You’ve got a good helper here!”
These are just some of the things that have been said to dads who have been looking after their children, according to testimonies on Reddit, where the topic has sparked a flurry of conversation.
It began when a user shared an image of a t-shirt bearing the slogan: “Dads don’t babysit, it’s called parenting.”
“I’ve had people ask me ‘Are you looking after the kids today?’ Or ‘I can tell you’ve dressed the baby today,’” he told BBC Trending.
“It’s just out of date. The modern dad is more active in their family life than they were historically. It’s out of date to assume the mum is the primary caregiver.”
