Alert-alert-alert.... I see you're still new to this game: you can not 'babysit' your child/ grandchild and, if any female relative hears this term, you may find yourself in the hurt locker. They would prefer you use terms such as 'spending quality time with... bonding with.... yadda yadda yadda'.
There is, however, a manly alternative which, coincidentally, I am doing right now. I am not babysitting/spending quality time with/ etc my kids.
I am providing overwatch with the TV and beer in direct support.

Mead is an alcoholic drink that the Vikings imbibed in I believe.
Again, it must be served by a "wench".

Went to Ikea for a new media stand and a beer (before anyone says anything, its furniture made by Vikings and cold beer, come on now), I also yelled at someone for screwing up an apple crumble we were making in hospitality class.
It's been an odd day.

I had some friends who were into the SCA scene. They did a Medieval feast with home made mead, all according to authentic recipes. It was strange brew that mead, took a little getting used to and I'm not sure I'd want it too often. But it was interesting to have tried it nevertheless. IIRC, it was not cheap to make either. Honey here can be expensive.

Everything you wanted to know about mead: http://www.gotmead.com/
Much more like wine instead of beer. Generally requires at least 1 year of ageing to get rid of the raw taste. For relatively cheap honey you could buy it directly from an apiary, or at a local farmer's market.
