I say, "Yes, she works a great deal harder than I do, caring for our children at home."

Darned right. When someone asks me if my wife works, I tell them, “Oh, no — caring for four children is one long vacation.”

And I’ll correct anyone who refers to a man caring for his children as “babysitting.” If they’re your children, it ain’t babysitting; it’s being a parent.

It is only babysitting if you are getting paid for it ;)
