*nods* It has to be coming out of Don's leisure time, since presumably he's not a professional babysitter. And even if he were, LW's not paying him!

So long as Don isn't leaving any of his dates unsupervised with the kids, or behaving in inappropriately sexual ways with his dates while the kids are there, I think LW is overreacting. And he's over-reacting specifically because it's a man--he doesn't single out any of Don's other dates to complain about. (I also find it unlikely--not impossible, but unlikely--that Alan, a queer man, is going to molest little girls. LW would have a lot more cause to be worried if the caregiver was his sister, dating straight men.)

The kids aren't going to feel the turmoil around Uncle's varying friends that they would if Dad or Mom was bringing a succession of new people into the house, so that's not an issue either.

And in what world is dating four people in a year being a "player?" Minor point, but it bothered me. (Clearly it's LW's homophobia speaking. Again.)
