In a shocking and outrageous incident, a father is being heavily criticized after he refused to baby sit his own daughter. The father told straight on his wife’s face that he does not have enough time to babysit his daughter since he has a lot of work to do.

The father was cast aspersions on when he took online about the decision of not babysitting his daughter. He explained his reasons for the same. He told how he had bought two tickets for his wife as a birthday present to fly to her grandmother in Italy next week along with his four – year - old daughter. Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn. The wife insisted that she would choose to go alone rather than going with her daughter so she could get a break from the kids and have a relaxing holiday.

The woman came up with the suggestion because she was a stay-at-home mom and she hardly got any break. It sounded like a fair deal. However, it was not fair to the father and he disagreed with the whole thing. He argued that his wife could not travel alone and she had to travel with their daughter. The father explained that their daughter could not travel otherwise if the mother did not take her with her.

He further explained that he was busy and did not want to take a week off to babysit their daughter from his busy schedule. Instead, the father suggested that he found someone else who could babysit their daughter. He regretted that he could not find someone close who was ready to take the responsibility. He justified that he loved his daughter but was not willing to take a week off just to babysit her before taking it to Reddit to ask the users whether he was right or wrong.

There was a flood of reactions where he was criticized and condemned. One Reddit user commented that it was not babysitting your own kid. Many users were quick to agree with that statement. He further said that he was a parent. It was his child. It was being a responsible parent and not babysitting his child. A second user further said that if the man considered it as babysitting, then he needs to grow up and become mature enough to differentiate between the two.

A third user added that looking after their child was not called babysitting. It was called parenting and that was not something special that a parent does. Parenting is done out of the ordinary because it is normally his wife's job. He further elucidated that it was something a parent was assigned to do 24/7, 365.25 days a year the moment his/ her child is born. No parent can run away from that. The fact that spending time with his daughter or simply being with her is considered as babysitting on his part is a huge red flag.

Another user said that he obviously had no issues with his wife going to Italy without him, so that was no problem at all. And obviously, he could take some time off to take care of his daughter because that was his job. It was an important aspect of his life and he cannot run from that.
