I was referring to the infant stage when mothers were typically in charge of the newborns. Today...it can be and should be shared. Up until the kid is dropped off to DAYCARE on their way to work (again...for some).
Hey...just because a woman gives birth doesn't mean she is a better parent than a father. On the other hand...some of the most motherly women I knew NEVER gave birth. Blessed are the fathers who teach a boy how to be a man  |
It would always drive me nuts when my mother-in-law would call when I was in charge of the boys. She would say something like "I guess you're babysitting today." I would always tell her "No, I'm taking care of the boys,'' or 'No, I'm parenting," but I don't think she ever got the hint. We were fortunate enough to work opposite shifts that we seldom needed daycare.
If the boys should ever bless us with grandchildren, we will definitely be babysitting.
