And 3-12?
I mean the root of this is you acting as if it's absurd the 1) a guy be watching kids to begin with 2) someone utilizes a babysitter to watch their kids.
In many areas in this country you can not raise a family on a single income. If that was the threshold for having kids, a huge majority of families could never have children. A society crippling number of families wouldn't exist if that was the threshold.
Nevermind that life occurs after you have kids. Maybe dad loses that great job, maybe he suffers an injury and can't work, maybe he leaves, maybe he even dies. Now mom has to work even if she never expected to. Maybe mom can make more money then dad, should the family suffer rather then just having dad watch his own kids?
And then on top of that you seem to think having a babysitter is hiring someone to raise your kids. Mom and dad pay the neighborhood girl to watch the kids so they can go have a date and all of a sudden you think mom is failing as a parent.
Even Ward and June Cleaver hired a babysitter for Wally and the Bev on occasion. Even the Amish have others watch their children on occasion.
