Why is it considered "babysitting"?

[Pembo]

I told DD, age 4, that Daddy and her brothers were going somewhere and she asked who was babysitting her and I told her I (mommy) was staying home and she said "oh, then you're babysitting me."

If dh can babysit, then so can I. lol

Oh, I don't know about that. My DH does NOT change diapers & will only do it if it were a life & death emergency now. He did change our DD a lot more because he had a retail job and was home on certain days & I worked Mon-Fri, the other days she was at my moms. However, I would come home at lunchtime and basically change her then. He would hope he could hold off until then.

In his defense, he literally throws up when changing diapers, even wet ones.

It was always a pleasant sight to come home to towels filled with puke from him changing a diaper. EWWW!!! Between the 2, I'll take diaper duty. It's just the way it is. Once I quit work to stay home, the diaper changing just isn't going to happen.

After reading your first paragraph there, I figured your DH has a weak stomach for diaper changes. My DH had problems with that too. The smell was enough to make him feel nauseas (sp?). But yet he was fine in the delivery room with me while DS was being born and after. Go figure
