Why? I babysitted a lot and hanged out with my friends who were also dads. Kids played in a sandbox and we chatted over beer in the park. Same for my wife and her friends. And the partner who doesn't babysit is free to hang out and do activity that can't be done with kid. We also spend vacations and weekends together with other families. I think the major problem is that Americans live in suburban deserts and move a lot, thus being far away from their old acquittances. I live in a mid-size, mid-dense city along with my friends who I made in high school or college.
