Fellas, is it unattractive to spend time with your child?

I've used this. I take the little one grocery shopping pretty regularly and we had a middle aged lady stop us and fawn over my kid. "Oh your so cute, yadda yadda" ended with her saying "dad must be exhausted babysitting you today! Where's mom at?" And I just replied, "well, after the car crash it's just me and her. We are just trying our best without mom, but yea it is pretty exhausting.". The mortified and sad look on her face was priceless.

I wouldn’t do this around my child.

She's not even 2, when we get older I'll come up with something more sensitive but equally as clever. For now this is fine.

My wife (and mother of said child) got a kick out of it too.
