I listed some of my Pet Peeves some posts ago and, while reading the "MailBag" item on page 6 of the October 29, 2007 issue of People magazine, I came across the following letter:
KATIE HOLMES
"In your article on Katie Holmes, you stated that Tom Cruise often "babysat" Suri. Really? Since when do parents babysit their own children? Had the roles been reversed, would you have said that Katie was babysitting Suri? I doubt it. Dads everywhere are working hard to share parenting duties with their wives. Please give them credit and don't reduce them to mere babysitters."
Barbara Young Great Falls, VA.
I didn't read that particular article because, Katie and Tom bore me and, until Katie snaps out of her functioning coma, I really don't want to pay too much attention to her.
But, seeing someone else agree with my thoughts on fathers "babysitting" their own kids was validating!
Well put Ms Young! (not that she will ever read my blog...but, I want to give credit where credit is due)
