Someone explain this to me...

...in a way that does not make my head explode.

According to the US Census Bureau, when a father watches the children while mom works, that is a "child care arrangement." The reverse is not reported as such.

Please, tell me they are not implying what I think they're implying. LIE TO ME IF YOU HAVE TO.

It's a way of thinking that has just never occurred to me- like when my guy friends are hanging out with their kids and people call it baby-sitting. On the upside, nothing gets them more pissed off. My friend Fex says, "Why don't you just ask me if I'm kidnapping them?"

So what is it when Dad gets custody of the kids? Boarding school?

[cereta]

GAH.
