You are a great parent and Annie sure looks settled and content to be with you. Mike, I detest that assumption that because you are “not the mama” you must be filling in for the mama.

"Not babysitting. Just parenting." ^^AWESOME response Mike! Father's are just as much parents as mother's are. Saying otherwise is just letting them off the hook to be babysitters (as you've stated in this entry); which just isn't so. Not a real father anyway. Glad you and Annie had some alone time. ;o) P.S. The Rocky movies are THE BEST! =D Awww, Spencer is the cutest!

So glad you corrected those ladies! My husband and I JUST had this conversation about men "babysitting" their own children. Like they are just a back up parent or something. Once every month or so I get together with my girlfriends from high school. Some of them are ready to go after an hour or so b/c the hubby has the kids. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? He can only care for his children for 2 hours??? My wonderful husband sounds a lot like you! When my oldest was 10 weeks old my husband was working from home and taking care of the baby while I worked. Both of my boys feel just as secure with their daddy as they do with me.

That always annoys the crap out of me when people say that. It totally devalues fathering without adding anything to mothering. Pet peeve. Grrrrr.... Also, the conversation with your nephew was hilarious. Amen on the “not babysitting, just parenting” comeback. That always annoys the crap out of me when people say that.

My standard reply is that you do not babysit your own children. Then I hear the old adage about how much moms do. Granted there are many moms who may do a lot of the routine tasks, however dads are just as important, and there are many who do not get the acknowledgment that they deserve.

Go Mike!!! For a short while, a few years ago, my granddaughter and her 3 brothers had to go into foster care because of a problem at home. It was frustrating. They were gone for one full week and my daughter was nursing at the time. Katie was only 6 months old at the time. The foster care people could not get her to eat from a bottle, and she lost a bit of weight that week. When my daughter finally got her back, Katie was wide eyed with wonder, until the second my daughter started nursing her. Katie let out a huge sigh, and knew from then on where she belonged. She nursed like a trooper and gained all her weight back and then some. Babies just know. YES for daddies who get involved! Go Mike!!!
