xOtWiXi answered Sunday March 20 2005, 12:00 pm: No... but I think parents will think otherwise. I am sure you are not a Michael Jackson, but parents might feel awkward about leaving their kids with a teenage male, due to all the rape stories and stuff, not to be all sexist or anything, but I think you shouldn't.

i<3tx answered Sunday February 20 2005, 10:09 pm: not at all!! guyz babysit all the time. Some guyz do it cuz they like kids, but most cuz they need the money, and most placed dont hire at 15 years of age.. dont worry about it. :D [ i<3tx's advice column | Ask i<3tx A Question ]
x3aSkMe answered Thursday December 30 2004, 3:06 am: I know a 16 year old straight man that babysits. And I know quite a few straight men that have children...Is that odd? There is absolutley nothing wrong with watching children, especially if you get paid for it. :) [ x3aSkMe's advice column | Ask x3aSkMe A Question ]
pinayprincess74 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 2:45 pm: Not really. It's just kind of awkward. I'm not saying I think its awkward or anything, it's just that girls tend to babysit more than boys do. But, otherwise, theres no problem with it ^_^

Lil_Chocolate_Boi answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 10:53 pm: No its normal to babysit even if you are a male. I always liked for older guys to babysit me because the girls always talked about stuff and always did girly things and guys had time for me and played with me. So no its practically normal. I even babysit but I'm 13 tho but still straight male. [ Lil_Chocolate_Boi's advice column | Ask Lil_Chocolate_Boi A Question ]

HaPPyTOheLp answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 2:11 pm: NO! its totaly okay. When you were a kid, did you always want a girl babysitting you, or did you sometimes want a guy? see, little boys like bigger guys babysitting them, it doesn't matter!

l0stiNth0uGht020 answered Monday December 6 2004, 10:08 pm: Of course not! Honestly, there aren't very many jobs you can get when you're 15, and you need money!! Who cares if you babysit? So long as you're making money, what's the problem? If anyone gives you crap about it, you could always say "Well, at least I have some money now.." or something. :-) lol [ l0stiNth0uGht020's advice column | Ask l0stiNth0uGht020 A Question ]

knottypanda answered Monday December 6 2004, 6:24 pm: Not at all!
Not only is it easy cash, there's nothing wrong with enjoy it as well. If you're made fun of, ask those kids if they make the pay you do. You'd be suprised.

Sherry answered Monday December 6 2004, 4:02 pm: No way. its fine! Girls just dont babysit, guys do too. They probably just dont say anything though. Dont worry [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Monday December 6 2004, 4:01 pm: No, definately not! Guys can babysit too. And if people say anything rude or nasty to you, just ignore them. You're working a job and making some extra money! :) [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
Eyesinoceanwaves answered Monday December 6 2004, 3:17 pm: No. If you want to babysit then go for it. As long as the parents are okay with it. i don;t see a problem in it. guys can do lots of things that girls can do. For intance being a nurse. You don't have to be gay to babysit. I'd say go for it. Don't worry about what people will say. If you are making money and like doing it then go for it. [ Eyesinoceanwaves's advice column | Ask Eyesinoceanwaves A Question ]
SuddenlyFem answered Monday December 6 2004, 1:56 pm: No why should it??? What does babysitting have to do with being girly?? Obviously someone thinks your mature enough to babysit dont steiotype something good. [ SuddenlyFem's advice column | Ask SuddenlyFem A Question ]
FernGully answered Monday December 6 2004, 1:11 pm: I don't see how being straight has anything to do with it. A lot of parents seem to be more comfortable having girls babysit their kids, not sure why that is exactly. I guess that means it is up to the parents of specific children, because it doesn't matter that there really isn't anything wrong with it, because parents make the decision ultimately. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
mysticpixie05 answered Monday December 6 2004, 11:28 am: no. i dont see anything wrong for it. it is a paying job so what difference does it make to you. if you are comfortable with babysitting and you want to do it then go ahead, there is nothing wrong with that. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
jenymca answered Monday December 6 2004, 6:44 am: I dont see anything wrong with it...seriously, if you want to babysit, go for it. Unless your not talking about yourself then whoever your talking about should...go for it! [ jenymca's advice column | Ask jenymca A Question ]
Shaylee answered Monday December 6 2004, 6:28 am: Where did you get that idea?? That's the funniest thing I've heard all night. Well... lets see if it was wrong... well yes my brothers wouldn't do it.
I guess its one of those things which are generall left to us chicks (face it we do .. just joking). Its just to do with stupid sterotyping hundreds of years ago and basically what roles we play today. If you want to then go for it, if anyone gives you a hard time for it- show them the money you make while sitting around baby sitting.
I will be truthful that it would probabley be harder as mothers usually trust girls more then guys... I have no idea why, they just do. It would probabley be the same if the father was choosing someone to watch his precious possession more likely to trust a guy. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy baby sitting... i mean what do you think fathers do? [ Shaylee's advice column | Ask Shaylee A Question ]
S_C answered Monday December 6 2004, 6:27 am: No, a lot of guys in my neighborhood that need money will help a girl babysit, or if all the girls are busy then they will babysit. During football games when all our neighbors go out to one persons house, all the older kids in the cul-de-sad (like 4 of us) Will watch all the younger kids (like 20 something) and 2 of them are guys, the other 2 are me and my sister. So no, it might be weird, but a lot of guys babysit... I don't know about 15 year old guys, but 12-14 year old guys do. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
