I post a cute story about a kid giving a act of kindness and it makes me post this video.
Watching a kid, is watching a kid.
This is as stupid as saying "calamari" and "squid"
NO SHIT someone who is not the parent is the "babysitter". But it is still the intent of watching a kid, which is what a parent does and would want the same attention for the same kid. So no, I have no problem saying that a parent can "babysit" their own kid. Unless you think a child when not under the care of a parent deserves less care under someone who is not their parent?

Don't get stupid on me and assume I don't know the difference. I simply think the word is petty to use when the importance in both cases, is the welfare of the kid. Watching a kid is still watching a kid, and I'd think most parents would want a "babysitter" to have the same attention they do.
I've put my cat in the kenal a couple of times, and I sure as hell would want the vet to treat my cat as if it was their own cat. In both cases we are watching my cat.
Maybe it will help you to think of it like this: all babysitting is childcare, but not all childcare is babysitting. Babysitting is a specific type of childcare done by someone other than that child’s parent or legal guardian. This not an opinion, it is a fact and cannot be reasonably refuted.
