The idea of letting a 15year old boy whose hormones are raging around a baby girl's vagina. No, I'm not paying a horny 15yr old boy to sex my daughter!
thats as bad a comment as something racist. no offense, but thats a terrible thing to say and what gives every person in that generalized group a bad rep, true or not.

Is it against the law to not want a male to watch my children? Do people interview more than one person and decide they like one or the other?
I don't have to justify to you or anyone else. They are my children not yours or anyone elses. I decide who watches them and who does't.
Asking WHY doesn't mean someone wants you justify your decision, simply that they want you to EXPLAIN it.
WHY does it make you uncomfortable? You are certainly able to say that having a male babysitter makes you uncomfortable, but if you should be able to articulate WHY it makes you uncomfortable.
Nobody is saying that you can't make decisions based on any ridiculous criteria that you like, but you really should be able to say WHY that criteria is important to you.
It's ok. When I was first asked, and mind you I'm a single father, I was nervous, but I have had them watch her a lot so I felt compelled to offer to baby sit so that they could have a date night once a week and it has been nothing but wonderful.
What a great neighbor. Wish I had a neighbor like you when mine were small.

That's just plain sick.
I have known some really decent, gentle, sweet boys and wouldn't hesitate to have asked any one of them to babysit. We're past that need now though. I did have a young man babysit my daughter before when she was a baby.

hey woman do that 2 u know god that hurts US GUYS SAYING U DONT TRUST NOONE BUT FAMILY MEMBERS geuss what some people r insecet DID U F*ING THINK ABOUT THAT im 16yrs old and a guy and i babysit for people that have daughters. yes im strait.
We have had male babysitters.
We have GBBG. So yes there is the potential for the wrong male to to do the wrong thing.
We have not seen them be anything other than professional in their approach.
But, I can understand the concern and as our eldest daughter is now in her teens, I am re considering what we should do.
I think it depends on the person, not the gender. Before hiring, maybe you should ask other people who have had him babysit for them what they think. I believe that the personality of the babysitter says a lot more than the gender. I also believe that males would be good role models to the children, especially if the mother is single.
Wow, what a wierd thread. There are some strange people out there. Child molesters come in all sexes! Men make excellent babysitters, same as women...it is based on the PERSON...are they good with kids? Make your own judgement...but don't assume that all males are molesters, and all females are excellent baby tenders. BTW, my daughter really does not like kids that much, she would just stick your kid in front of the tv, my son, however, would play Candyland for hours, rough house, play hide and go seek, and finally want to make root beer floats with everyone. Some people are kid people, some are not...
