Millennial dads are increasingly involved in parenting, spending three times more time with their children than fathers in 1965. They aim for a 50/50 division of childcare responsibilities but often find it challenging due to work commitments. An informal survey of millennial dads revealed mixed experiences, with some managing a balance and others feeling overwhelmed. Dads expressed a desire to change perceptions of fatherhood by being more present in their children's activities. The quest for achieving work and family life balance remains a significant struggle for many fathers today.
"Trying to 'have it all' as a dad today often feels like spinning plates. I want to support my family financially, nurture a business I believe in, and be fully present with my kids, but doing all three well at once."
"Millennial dads today spend triple the amount of time dads spent with their kids in 1965 at the same age."
