Present - day fathers spend three times as much time with their children

Our children are growing up in a world very different from that of previous generations.

Research shows that today's fathers are more involved than ever in raising children, and this is changing the way children see the world and themselves.

Fathers Want to Be Equal Parents

Modern fathers take parenting seriously by spending three times as much time with their children as did the fathers of two generations ago. Moreover, they are much more active with their children during their spending time with them.

In 1982, 43% of fathers admitted that they did not change a single child's diaper. Today, the number is down to about 3%, and that's a big difference, because research shows that when fathers wear, change, wash their children, the father-child bond becomes much stronger when years pass.

Research shows that fathers today want to be equal to mothers in parenting, being more interested in distributing jobs and responsibilities.

Even though much of the work is still done by women, fathers spend 30 minutes more than their fathers spent on house care and children.

The busy fathers bring many benefits to their children. They're teaching girls that they have nothing less than boys and they teach our boys that washing dishes is not the “working of women”

This trend of fathers who help most at home is positive not only for children but also for marriages.

When couples share affairs with each other, the relationship between them is more peaceful and stronger.

Regardless of how far fathers have progressed in this regard, they sometimes feel pressure when comparing themselves with their fathers, who did not do anything “at home.

Fathers Need Support

In many countries of the world with developed democracies, the idea of even fathers being paid as mothers after the birth of children is more beneficial and easier by public employers and institutions.

Fathers, then, are very influential if they are cooperative. They're changing the world, changing a diaper. We should appreciate their every effort.
