Yeah, I've experienced the same thing, despite having been a 'single dad' for a couple of years. Any time I'm expected to watch the kids by myself for a period of time the response is 'wow!'. On the other hand, I also know and know of dads who actually "can't" (really "don't") take care of their kids by themselves for such a time. Often the people involved are (mostly, at least) only joking, but even if not, I don't really care.
