Totally agree with what Alan Cohen said. Also, back when I had little ones, my younger, much more wise and patient wife told me she always sort of felt that men saying they babysit their own kids was giving them a pass on parenting in a way. I still shudder at the thought of her giving that look if I were to say it.
Yes!!! Preach! Not the “parent” now, but now being the grandfather(close enough!) I would never consider it babysitting when watching the grandkids. It’s grand parenting and it’s special!
