Babysitter?

Quick question? Why do all husbands/fathers think that when they are watching their own kids it is considered "babysitting"? If that is the case, then I am a full-time Nanny and should be paid accordingly.

So, the other night I asked Leo to watch Mason while I finished up some on the computer. He said, "Sure, no problem I'll babysit for you."

I should've know that that was way too easy....after all, he was watching his Spanish Soap Opera and it was at the climax of the storyline that night. So, there is Leo, remote in hand eating his chips and salsa not paying attention to a thing besides watching Julio and Maria that-are-in-love-but-have-to-marry-other-people-or-the-druglords-will-kill-them-both when I finish up my work and go upstairs to find Leo almost in tears as the couple is kissing on TV. I asked him where Mason was and his eyes got huge, like that "Oh crap" moment when you knew you were supposed to be doing something and forgot. I go to Mason's favorite spot, which is my bathroom and there he is covered in mascara! I have to admit, it was kind of cute...he's been watching Mommy put on makeup and managed to get the majority of it around his eyes.

BUT... my point being...why do they always think of themselves as babysitters and not Dad's?
